Description
|
The PC-2 is a handheld RF signal generator. It generates two CW carriers that are extremely clean and stable. The PC-2 is popular with CATV installers and service technicians who align and test the return path. It is also handy for measuring insertion loss of cable, splitters, taps, and more when used in conjuction with a signal level meter or spectrum analyzer. Because of its excellent frequency and amplitude accuracy, the PC-2 is great for calibrating signal level meters and spectrum analyzers.
