RF signal generator?

[Onelasttime]

I just bought one of these a few weeks back NOS for $160 the BK2005 which is it's older brother and replaced it is $307 I think. THey are $74 used on Ebay. This is the place I got from.

I didn’t realize those were old as well. I thought they were brand new from China. I’m tempted to buy one just to get by for now. I have several radios that need aligned badly

Now when they where in production they where made in the same plant in Taiwan as the B&K 2005B or what ever it is that is still produced and offered on sights for $307.

Cheesey . . .

And what does "Chessey" mean? If I have done something wrong here please let me know, But just using a word that would be seen as derogatory to almost anyone that would see your response requires some elaboration! or explanation if you please.

I suspect cheesey in this case means old, non digital and likely not worth the effort.

You, should first find some manors and respect for those you propose to ask for help?

We both know this freq gen is good enough to use on an old AM radio set; but not good enough to use for practical CB alignments. You already said as much on this thread already and we all agree with you. But to peddle it on this thread - which is explicitly about serious bench gear - it has no place. And yes, it is a cheesey piece of gear. That is my own opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I neither need nor want YOUR help.

Well, Astrogutrot I'm thinking you won't need to worry about getting help or anything else from anyone if continue your ignorant smart mouth BS on this forum so good luck.

OT03, he's not here for help from anyone. We get trolls like this all the time.

Usually though, they tend to lurk and post a bit longer before making themselves known.
Astroglide here has given himself up in only 4 posts!

Don't let him sour you on this forum, as we are slowly absorbing the good and the bad from other ghost town CB forums.
We get good people like you who are sorely needed around here, but with that we have to accept that the opposite is going to happen also.

Oh and Astroglide, when you make your final post bad mouthing this forum, don't forget to add that you came here in good conscience asking for genuine help and only got bad mouthed and belittled by the elitist members of this terrible forum.

Chill out. You could do a LOT worse. I don't understand people that ask for advice then get pissed when advice is offered in good faith. People like that discourage people from even wanting to help anybody.

He's a total jerk and that's fine. I'm blunt and I'm on thin ice? What a way to run a web site.

Jerks include people that respond rudely and when confronted blame everybody else for their own shortcomings.
