 No need for detail, you got it in your question. I just threw some components together to see what would happen. It turned out that they worked but not as well as I wanted. During this phase of my research I was looking for the signal generation of the system I am building. I already have the signal processing unit together (pulse modulated laser transceiver) and a simple recording unit.

I believe I may have found a good signal generator in the design of Mike Colletta's Spiricomp array. It consists of three AM/FM digital scanning radios (RS 12-469) connected to a Radio Shack, 4 channel mixer. From there the RCA cables are fed into my laptop where the signals are run through DCSix with SoundSoap2 to clean up the sound.

The three radios scan the FM (or AM, whatever your pref) band at different intervals and not spending more than a millisecond (estimated) on each scanned frequency.
