   The 207A is described as an audio sweep oscillator, which I assume means the   
   F starts at 20Hz and over a time period the F is smoothly changed up to   
   20kHz, enabling the audio F response of filters and speakers etc to be seen   
   on a CRO screen.   
      
   ** Not at all, it is not a sweep generator.   
      
   Operation is purely manual and its uses rather limited to things like   
   testing audio lines ( in studio and broadcast) for flat response, checking   
   limiters and VU meters and also maybe speakers in production for unwanted   
   rattles and noises.   
      
   Audio sweep generators typically used the difference ( or beat) frequency   
   between two RF oscillators.
