Oh yes you can substitute a computer generated, sound card, signal for the audio generator.

You can't substitute an oscilloscope for a counter. The difference in accuracy is immense. If you have another way of measuring frequency, look into that. Sometimes a counter is overkill, so it pays to understand what you are trying to do and what compromises you can make.

I am starting to go through the alignment on one of my radios and don't have every piece of test equipment listed in the service manual.
So, I wanted to see if I could use the following substitutions.
For the frequency counter & RF voltmeter, couldn't I just use my oscilloscope? I have access to a scope that can internally measure all kinds of parameters including frequency, Vp, Vrms, etc. Any problem with doing that?
Audio signal generator: I have both a program on my computer and an app on my phone that will generate audio tones at adjustable levels. Any problem with that instead of using a dedicated audio generator?
I still need to get my RF signal generator up and running. I have an old wavetek that is a little persnickety...
Thanks,
