I was about to ask exactly the same question.

 I had been thinking about modifying a SDR1000 to do a similar thing.  It 
has the DDS  and the the synchronous modulator and demodulator.   You'd 
only really need the latter, of course.  There isn't a convenient output 
for the DDS output (to drive the test set), but I think you could pull a 
high impedance tap off the output of the DDS output filters and run it to a 
suitable buffer.

The other approach is to get the AD9854 eval board from Analog Devices for 
$250 and a suitable mixer/receiver as an eval board from Maxim.
