The WinWT4 Spectrum Analyzer RF Signal Generator With Tracking Generator appears to be more appropriate and is cheaper too! It has a tracking generator output which is fed to the device under test, in this case the input to the IF amplifier. The output is applied to the RF input of the Spectrum analyser. Then you use the the software to provide the display of the sweep on a computer. No need for an oscilloscope.

Yes I looked at these in some detail last night. It's worth a shot, even just as a product review for everyone to comment on. The cheapest option isn't necessarily a requirement as I'd gladly spend up to $400 or so for a good quality instrument. I believe these are manufactured and shipped from China so I imagine QA might be an issue and shipping may take several weeks to get to me. I'll order one and we can use it when it arrives but I'm still open to other suggestions even if they are more expensive options.
