There is good reason to have a floating output, isolated from (common) earth. Would be useful to have a switch on the rear so you can select. Also owned a PSG9080 for around 2 years and had no issue with it.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Hey Mick, I would agree that a switch would be the way to go. Thanks for watching.

I have never used a signal generator. definitely looks like fun to test stuff and build with.

[@TheSmokinApe]

They are pretty fun to mess with, hopefully I can get some "use case" type videos out.

Nice new toy that you have, Jim will want one now! ;) Very nice of them to include text to subscribe to your channel in the language settings.😄👍 Good bang for buck for the hobbyist I think.👍🍻🤓

[@TheSmokinApe]

Lol, thanks for watching Don 👍

[@phildurall7466]

You just blew my mind Ape! I just so happen to have this in my shop. Nice review Sir! 73 - KF6IF

[@TheSmokinApe]

Nice! Thanks for watching Phil 👍

I just flagged one for purchase next month. I have an FT-101B that needs some attention. Hopeful this will work for alignment, etc.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Good luck with the project 👍

I have a Rigol AWG DG1062Z, which I use for 2 tone tests for RX. Also one could use it for 2 tone TX tests at either RF or audio. The composite phase noise on the 14bit Rigol is pretty good. Not sure what the Juntek is like. Useful instrument though.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for the info Kevin!

[@alex-zu9zj]

Is it possible to change the output impedance different by 50 ohms?

[@TheSmokinApe]

Hey Alex, I am pretty sure it has a Hi-Z setting but I just checked the manual and didn't see it...

[@SQ5DBF]

It is able to measure much more than 100Mhz.

[@TheSmokinApe]

No, it can't reliably generate a signal that high.
