ELV SUP3 FM stereo test generator with PC control via USB.

In aligning FM radios, having a means of producing a stable, accurate and clean signal in the FM band of frequencies is very useful. This applies to both modern receivers and tube radios, but obviously more so in the former.
I have been looking for (drooling over) a good solution for this, but the costs are usually higher than I can justify for the amount of use I'd be giving it.
I came across the ELV website in my search, and was pleased to find this option, which seemed to tick all the boxes: It was small, modern, very accurate, and most of all, reasonably priced. Here is the product link:

This unit comes as a kit that is almost completely pre-built as it uses SMD components. You basically need to put it together, and that too appealed to me.
I hope you enjoy this build video, and I'm sure you'll be seeing much more of the unit in operation in my future videos.
Enjoy.
