Heath Pawnee Alignment Question

[Glen Zook]

Remember that when the Pawnee was new that frequency
counters were not that available to amateur radio
operators.  All that is required is a known frequency
and using a counter and a signal generator will
definitely do the job.

I finally have my restored Pawnee working and now I
need to align it.  In reading the manual for the VFO
alignment procedure, it lists two possible methods. 
One is to use a set of crystals, which I don't have. 
The other calls for the use of a frequency meter. I
don't have one of these either and I'm not really sure
what it is.  I do have a URM/25D signal generator and
a good frequency counter.  Could these be substituted
for this application?  If  I'm reading the
instructions correctly, all I need is a signal to beat
against the VFO signal in the receiver.  Once the
frequency is determined with the counter, the signal
from the 25D should accomplish this.  Am I on the
right track or will I need different equipment?
