Signal generator test leads
#6

Pat, I’m using an old Heathkit SG-8 that was my dad’s. I reworked it by replacing the original connectors on the front of the cabinet with BNC type which is more compatible with newer test leads. While doing that, I inserted a cap to the center pin or hot side so it’s always there and I don’t need to worry about cobbling together anything before connecting to a radio. If I remember, I think I used a .01 mfd/630 volt unit. Works great on anything I’ve used it on so far!
