sweep oscillator General Radio 1025-A Sweep Frequency Generator Available from 1963 to 1968 Manuals General Radio 1025-A Sweep Frequency Generator Manual 1025-0110-B 1965 (All manuals in PDF format unless noted otherwise)

The General Radio 1025-A Sweep Frequency Generator was introduced in 1963 Catalog R and remained available through Catalog T 1968. The type 1025-A is motor driven type sweep oscillator. The frequency determining variable capacitors rotor is motor driven. Also mounted on the rotor is a trigger used to create a marker for the swept frequency. The oscillator covers 0.7 to 230 MHz plus two band spread segments. The segments on this particular unit are 400 to 500 kHz for broadcast radio IF frequency and 10.7 MHz ±300 kHz for FM and TV broadcast IF frequencies. Other custom band spread segments were available. There's also a control to manually turn the rotor to set up the sweep characteristics.
