[HAM] Tone Generator

[HUGH HINSKENS]

I meant using a resistor as a load just for the purpose of measurement so that you would get more consistent measurements in the event that the probe impedance was affecting the readings.

Paralleling a resistor at the TG terminal is an alternate method to bring down the signal as opposed to the more dangerous pickup adjustment.

If you want to use the word "taper" you're going to have to ask for OF's permission first. ;-)
