Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hi and others, I just checked the specs on the various function generators, especially since a couple other guys want to know what's up with this. The B & K 4011B has a 20VPP output when there is NO load. With a 50 Ohm load it goes down to only 10VPP. When hooked up to your body it would be somewhere in between. Alfa Electronics is just one of the manufacturers that have similar units and while most of their models are spec'd at 14.5VPP TTL output (they forgot to state what type of load), one of the lowest price models (GFG-8015G) listed " main amplitude " as 20VPP (open circuit), 10VPP (into 50 Ohm load). I suspect that the other models have this same spec (same as B & K). I don't know which units drift. Electronics has improved so much over the last few decades that it is hard to believe that most companies are not using the improved circuit designs and parts (such as temperature stable multilayer ceramic capacitors). Of course I could be wrong. Alfa has 6 digit function generators starting at $260. The only 20MHz B & K I could find cost $560 and appears to still only have a 4 digit display. There are also B & K's that have only the frequency counter rated at 20MHz (not the generator). If you really need 20MHz you may have to get a B & K or other name brand (from what I have seen so far). Low priced function generators: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/instek/pricelist.htm http://www.alfaelectronics.com There are others and it takes a long time to search for them on the web. Just type in " function generators " + " low cost " (with the quotes). I'm sorry that I can't take the time to do this for you. Many companies don't give the price on the first page and it is very frustrating to keep searching. -- Best regards, Bil mailto:tv.vcrrepair@...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Bil, Could you tell me exactly what is needed to turn a function generator, such as one of those in your post, into a pad type (Rife) frequency generator to " zap " using the various frequencies in the CAFL list, as an example. I have a Hulda " zapper " but it is restricted to only a few frequencies used to kill parasites, but I really like the Velcro bands that are used for the conduction, strap them on and go on with other work. I would like to adapt them to a more flexible frequency generator like the ProGen 4050, which I think is a super buy considering its upgrade potential. However, for now and for many of my friends who are looking for an inexpensive FG unit, what does it take to make one of these " off-the-shelf " function generators a pad type frequency generator? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hi Bil, Have a look at the NEW Hulda MiniFG frequency generator. Might do the trick for you!
