I did play with it today, sweeping a couple of filters. The unit is amazing!
I understand that one fellow in England is developing Windows based software
to control this unit. I am pretty excited about that.
I don't have any suitable transfer standards for checking the accuracy of
this instrument, but the designer has done a very good job of characterizing
this unit. See the following posts.
One more thing.............I think you would be very happy with this unit.

Hi Paul,
I just finished it this evening......................it is a
good piece of equipment, and worth the money. Tomorrow, I will do more
in-depth testing. It appears to have resolution to 6 digits, which is
good.
It consists of a pair of 9851 DDS chips, with a 1496 being used as a
direct
conversion detector. I think I am going to build another one, so I can
use
one at home and one at work.

Thanks, Pete. Resolution is one thing, accuracy is another. Do you
have a proprietory instrument within calibration to compare it
against? I want to believe in this kit. If it works as advertised then
it's a significant breakthrough for those of us who feel reluctant to
part with 20,000 quid for a piece of relatively infrequently-needed
test equipment! Please report back here when you've had the chance to
check it out properly and let us know how it performs...
