Wayne, Wouldn't you hear it on a radio in CW mode? The tone is added in receiver, so hearing tone means hearing "pure carrier". Last I knew CW is the "pure carrier". 73, Igor, N1YX

Cole Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Arrived Ed, You should not hear a hum or buzz when listening to the XG3 on a receiver. The fact that's it's not a sinewave doesn't mean that it has audio-frequency modulation; it is a pure carrier. You might be hearing 60-Hz pickup due to the lack of a common ground, etc. Wayne N6KR On Apr 20, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Edward R. Cole wrote: > My XG3 came in the mail, today.
