I have wondered the same thing since I built mine, still haven't used it yet
as mine was an F unit and not very old.

Hi Bob,
I use the Trimble Thunderbolt as a 10 MHz reference.

One thing you would want to set up different from the receiver's

You only have to perform the long (8 hr) burn in once. After that you can
use the XG50 as outlined in the temperature compensation procedure. When
performing the procedure, be sure to place the XG50 in an area free from
temperature swings, moving air, etc. Doing so will ensure a stable signal

Let's wrap up the G5RV OT discussion by the end
Is it possible to use the XG3 rather than the XG50 for KX3 setup?
If yes, does the XG3 require a burn-in of similar length?
Also, if yes, after the initial burn-in period, what is the recommended
warm-up time before use as an XG50 substitute?
Thanks, all.

Hello Dave!
It's all about stability. I used an XG3 to do the calibration of my KX3
during the development and testing phase of the calibration procedure.
If the XG3 is to be battery powered, use a fresh battery.
Do the calibration in a reasonably temperature stable environment. Let

Dave,
If you are referring to the EXTENDED VFO TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
PROCEDURE which can be performed on a KX3, the XG3 is NOT recommended. It
just doesn't have the same frequency/temperature stability as the XG50.
However, for anything else, the XG3 should be fine.

Paul

Assuming the 8 hour run has been done, it sounds like I can turn on the
XG50 right when I start the procedure. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Mooneer,
I would not go so far as to say that. Any stable signal generator needs
some warmup time. For instance my HP8640B is very stable - but only
after about a 2 hour warmup period. Everything inside has to come up to
operating temperature, and it drifts until that occurs.
I would

I was very excited to receive my KX3 kit today. Assembly was going fine
until I got confused about what screws to use on the front panel assembly.

On the recommendation of folks here I just acquired a used Edgeport/8

You are right. The parts list in the manual is short one 3/16 screw. We'll

Hello,
Are there any mechanical reasons why it would be better to install one before
the other, or do they not interfere with each-other in any way?
Thanks!

Either way. The KXBC3 goes in top cover assy (replacing the battery
retainer) and the KXAT3 goes in the bottom cover assembly.

Don,
Makes sense. I actually went ahead and did the temperature compensation
procedure tonight. I let the XG50 warm up while the KX3 was warming up (~30
minutes), then performed the procedure. Cooling down for a bit after, I
noticed that the tone now varies by +/- 3 Hz, much better than
