	solution

Hello Everyone,

I have spent the last few weeks modifying the HP 3586 Selective Level Meter. The 
intent was to modify the unit and reference the SSB product detector stage to 
the internal reference. This would make the entire SLM locked to the 10MHz 
reference, whether internal or externally fed.

I have completed the modification with satisfactory results. I use a DDS-Based 
Function Generator 16-pin IC and a small 8-pin PIC micro.  For more detail, 
visit my website at http://ve2zaz.net/HP3586_AD5962/HP3586_AD5962.htm .

This has been a very good exercise from a DDS perspective and I have learned a 
lot on the topic. I would be interested in hearing from those who proceed with 
the mod.

Thanks,

Bert, VE2ZAZ
