content: I left it vague on purpose - as i am flexible.If I specifically ask for a HP33120A or similar, changes are I won't get any responses, even if someone has a something that might work for my needs. I am trying to replicate certain signals for design verification testing in home shop.Minimum requirementsSquare and Sine wave, adjustable duty cycle, 5MHz minimum, Amplitude and offset adjustments, from -5V to +5 (into 50ohm)note: modulation and trigger would be nice to have, but not requirement

content: Thanks again for all the responses!! I looked in to the 310, and then to the afg3021, which looks super nice and i found a few for around $500,then i talked myself off the cliff.The Rigol seems alright, but i'm somewhat partial to some of the classics - I personally would rather have a rock solid machine with less bells and whistles instead of the opposite.which leads me to the final one - the 33120A. It looks full featured, classic agilent build, and at a price point that can't be argued with. I think I will keep me eye out for one of thoseThanks again for all the offers & advice!
