OK so I got my parts in to get my signal generator fixed up the rest of the way (BNC Jacks and a new set of cables for it so I could hook it up to a radio), and I got it all wired up and I went to test it out on an old Zenith Royal 500 Transistor Radio I had laying around and I couldn't get the signal generator to do anything, it wouldn't put out a tone or a signal to the radio or anything, I'm assuming with a transistor radio you don't need a capacitor inline with the test leads like you do an AC powered set.

Also I got tons of line interference through the signal generator similar to the line interference I said I had been getting on my radios.

I had my test probes hooked up the RF output jack which I'm assuming that's the hookup I was supposed to use to test the generator out on the radio.

any ideas as to what the problem could be?
