I just finished my fuction generator and i works ok i guess, the waveform looks like it is 'breathing' at certain frequencies, i looked online for abnormalities associated with the XR2206 and found ready made off the shelf equipment that does more and costs less than the simple circuit i built, then after more researching i found power supplies that would cost me less to buy than to build my own, so my question is why build ones own test gear if you can buy better stuff at a cheaper price? at first glance it looks a good deal to build your own stuff as components are cheap, but then you come to boxing it up and when you total up the cost of the enclosure, knobs etc you find you might as well have bought the damn thing off the shelf!
I suppose it's just nice to be able to say " i built this "?
