RF, Function and Signal Generators
Function Generators
go right to the catalog! Skip the INTRO, Go RIGHT to the CATALOG!
This page has our function and signal generators. All kinds of systems from low frequency audio to RF and sweep generators, regardless of manufacturer.

Here's your chance to get some truly amazing things at great prices. Quantities are very limited, so when they are gone, that's it.


* NAVIGATION: To make your life easier, and help you find exactly what you want, we have broken the on-line equipment catalogs into smaller sections. Just CLICK on the item you are looking for at the left, to see the matching catalog. Large graphical catalogs are a bit SLOW, so please give them a bit of time to load. The top header of each catalog is largely the same, so don't think you are stuck in one place!

* ORDERING: You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling +1 (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8am to 5pm, PST. We process VISA/MC orders immediately. You can also send your order by FAX at: +1 (250) 769-4106. Or, EMAIL YOUR ORDER HERE!

* SHIPPING: Canadian ExpressPost (NOT regular mail, this is like US Global Priority/Courier) Rates: To USA destinations, shipping and packing minimum of $23 for any insured, trackable air shipment up to 1kg (typical delivery within 5 business days), Canadian destinations are typically $10-14 (delivery within 2-3 business days). It is also possible to ship uninsured, untracked, small packets (250g max.) for roughly $12-14 to the USA, but delivery delays can be up to 8 weeks according to the US Postal Service, and so we cannot recommend it. Virtually all of our shipment failures have been because of this method, so it should be used with caution. We have an extraordinarily good success rate (better than 99.9%) with ExpressPost, so we highly recommend it, especially for one-of-a-kind items. It is cheaper than couriers, trackable, more reliable, fully insured and goes almost everywhere.

Shipping/handling to Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via Canada Post International ExpressPost air mail insured service or Canada Post International Air Service where ExpressPost is not offered is $51.00 for parcels up to 500 grams/1 pound. Shipping and packing via regular mail to these locales is $22.00 for parcels weighing up to 500 grams/1 pound. This service offers no guarantee, insurance or tracking and we then accept no liability for loss or damage. Transit times are unpredictable by this method.

E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment.

We can also ship FedEx or UPS when time or weight is critical, and over-night FedEx P1 shipping is available. Note that our pick-up cut-off time is noon for FedEx. There is a packing charge for large equipment, see the FAQ for details. If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. If this is the first time you have dealt with us, you can phone (250) 769-1834 or FAX +1 (250) 769-4106 the billing info, or send it by the email link, as you prefer.

We accept VISA/MC or international money order

* CONDITION: To answer your questions, YES, we completely check and inspect all used equipment, and do not offer any we feel is substandard. That gear is normally scrapped, broken down for parts, or may get offered as-is in the HOT DEALS section, with the unit's condition clearly identified. If there are any marks or detracting features, we clearly state them in the listing. Before shipment, we burn in the equipment for 24 hrs. again and re-check to be sure it is good prior to shipment.

* The CATALOG will appear below shortly!
Don't forget these illustrated sections take a few seconds to load, but they are worth the wait!

SSG-100, CLICK for bigger PIC!
CLICK for bigger PIC!
EAF Model SSG-100
3hz to 260KHz Sine, 3Hz to 10KHz Square DUAL digitally synthesized function generator.

A very nice keyboard entry digital signal generator, direct control of level, DC offset and frequency with 4 figure resolution, and crystal controlled stability (0.0005% of entered value). Two displays, can show either level or frequency for each channel! Up to 7Vpp output (3.5Vpp into 50 ohms), includes full factory manual reprint!
A very useful generator when precise control is more important than minor artifacts (square wave has overshoot above 10Khz, this is why is not spec'd above 10Khz, actually goes to same range as sine wave function), sine distortion is only -40dBc. Has GPIB functions (not tested, no drivers). Excellent condition. We use one of these on our own benches, very useful item, especially the Vpp and Vrms level functions.
Overhauled and Cal'd.

Wavetek  188-S-1257
4Mhz Sine/Square/Triangle Function Generator

High performance 7 decade (1Hz to 1Mhz ranges) sweep/function generator, 4Mhz maximum frequency. Has controlled 50 and 600 ohm outputs (simultaneous), plus TTL logic compatible sync output. Sine, square and triangle waveforms, plus linear and logarithmic sweep operation.

Supports gated, triggered and continuous operation, and voltage controlled generator operation, plus has sweep output voltage, a very powerful generator with excellent controls and very high quality. This is a ruggedized portable version of the 188, with uprated output stage, all metal case, side carry handle, and a front transport cover. One of our favorite generators, used on our own test benches. Excellent electronic condition, fully overhauled and cal'd, but some case marks.

Wavetek  142-S-527 / SG-1146/U
10Mhz Sine/Square/Triangle Function Generator

High performance 10 decade (.001Hz to 10Mhz ranges) function generator, 10Mhz maximum frequency. Has controlled 50 ohm output plus sync output and VCF input for sweeping. Sine, square, pulse and triangle waveforms, plus linear and logarithmic sweep operation.

Supports variable symmetry, DC offset, and voltage controlled generator operation, plus it has a 70dB stepped and continuously variable output attenuator. The wide range attenuator is an unusual featrure, rarely found on function generators. This is a ruggedized portable version of the 142, with uprated power supply, all metal case, front carry handles. One of our favorite generators, used on our own test benches, and can be set at the rear for 115/230V operation. Excellent electronic condition, fully overhauled and cal'd, but some case marks. You can download the PDF manual HERE.
