If you want to start gathering test equipment Matt, you should start watching eBay and other used equipment sources to get an idea what's out there and what it goes for. I'm a big believer in buying used gear of 10-20 year old vintage from Hewlett Packard and Tektronix in particular. I have an

According to the transverter manual, I will need a 50mhz signal generator or a frequency counter to successfully align the transverter. I've done a lot searching for signal generators and have found that those capable of 50mhz are very expensive, around $1500 dollars minimum. I found a B&K freque
