CW Tone Generator - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Looking for a cheap reliable solution to generate a clean CW tone with acceptable phase noise

I am looking for a cost effective way to generate a CW tone that doesn't cost an arm or a leg. Programmable PLL via Serial? USB control? Any idea?

Just don't want to end up using a signal generator for 2 fixed frequencies.

What's your intended frequency range and output power needed?
