Hi all,
does it make sense for a lowfer-freak buying a SPM-6 with
PS-6 from W&G (6kHz - 18.6MHz)?
Dear Uwe, LF Group,
I have the SPM-6 and PS6 - I do not use the SPM-6 much as a receiver for
the reason given by Alberto, plus the 2kHz BFO offset, but the pair of
units are extremely useful for measuring frequency response and noise
levels of amplifiers and filters and so on, for which I use them a lot. The
SPM-6 can operate from batteries, which would be useful for field strength
measurement. The signal level can be measured over a range of >120dB with
an accuracy of a fraction of 1dB. Although it is not synthesised, the
frequency can be set within 100Hz anywhere in the range using the
mechanical counter dial and the internal calibrator.
I would certainly buy both units - the PS-6 can be connected to the SPM-6
to provide tracking generator function, which makes the combination more
versatile. I paid about 70 GB pounds a few years ago for both units
together with a set of manuals.
