Re: [Amateur-repairs] Creating a LSB and USB Test Signal!!

If you have a signal generator why don't you just just set it 1KHz away from your receive frequency + or - depending on USB or LSB. If you don't have one, there are some cheap DDS modules about intended for VFOs that would suffice.
 
I have some crystal oscillators on ham band frequencies in boxes that I use, I have a couple of decent generators but often I don't bother checking sensitivity etc, I know by listening on air if the receiver is good or not. You could always compare with a known good receiver.

I have been working on a receiver that has a USB and LSB problem. I am using my Icom IC-705 radio as a test source. I want to replace this with something that will generate a USB or LSB Test Signal continuously so I can inject it into the receiver and then check stages of the radio etc. etc.
I have most test equipment available but was wondering if anyone has done this and what type of test equipment setup they have used.. 
Thanks in advance for your help...
