2T-GEN_2T-Gen 2-Tone Test Generator (700, 1900 Hz)

Introduction The Elecraft 2T-gen is a 2-Tone test oscillator that can be used to make distortion measurements on SSB transmitters and amplifiers. The 2T-gen is battery operated and provides sufficient output level to be connected directly to the microphone connector of almost any transceiver.   Overview   OVERVIEW How do you know how clean your HF SSB transmitter or amplifier is? One of the most important performance measurements is Transmit Intermodulation Distortion (IMD). Elecraft's new 2T-gen is a 2-tone test oscillator that has been designed to provide a standard 2-tone (700 and 1900 Hz) audio source for testing of SSB transceivers and linear amplifiers. This type of testing is almost universally used as a measure of transmitter linearity for amateur radio equipment. (Linearity impacts both SSB fidelity and the amount of SSB splatter that causes adjacent channel interference.) Results of 2-tone IMD tests can be found in every ARRL review of new transceivers and power amplifiers. T
