If you are OK with a 50lb compact box, the HP 8924C Service Monitor can be found with a mechanical input attenuator option that gives you a high performance SA+TG from 400khz-1Ghz plus RF SigGen plus RF Power Meter plus plus plus. If you don't get the right attenuator then its only linear from 10Mhz-1Ghz. In essence it's identical to the famous HP8920A/B just about 25lbs heavier. Nice working examples can be had for less than $1000 .

(Don't remember the model # off hand). But for about $1500,you get an analyzer about the size of the small modern scopes, with warranty. The review wasn't bad, but the unit had a few minor quirks. Depending on your application it may work out well. I'm personally not a fan of the inexpensive Asian stuff, but the price ranges are getting low enough I admit that I'm looking more seriously now.
