Part 2/8:
The technician confirms that both signal generators are operational, with one currently being tested in the 17 to 40 megacycle range. This frequency span is typical for amateur radio or shortwave communication. The technician notes that a single wire connected to the generator output is used as an antenna or detector, broadcasting RF energy at about 30 watts. This energy is measured using a simple detection method, involving a short piece of wire to pick up signals and an RF wattmeter or indicator.
