I finally upgraded my little KX1 to a new KX3. LOVE the KX3! Intent is to use it mainly when I travel, but also as a nice QRP addition to the shack. My K3/KPA500 combo is still my main shack rig. One of the things I want to try is using the KX3 with is low power digital modes, like WSPR and

I would think anyone with an XG3 could use to do the extended VFO calibration. I tested mine and it has reasonable accuracy and stability. Of course I have a mw counter with E-11 accuracy for checking this so I can just set the KX3 exactly to that frequency. I have not run the KX3 thru

What am I missing? This is not the first time an XG50 has been mentioned. However I can find no sign of it on the Elecraft web site. David K0LUM On Nov 19, 2012, at 8:13 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: and if you don't have a very stable signal source, you can use our new XG50 RF generator.

From the order page, under KX3 accessories: XG50 Kit (Simple 49.380 MHz Signal Source) The Elecraft XG50 is a simple 49.380 MHz signal source specifically designed for use with the KX3 Extended VFO Temperature Compensation Procedure. See App Note. I used the 5th harmonic of my 10 MHz GPSDO for

The XG50 is a 49 MHZ signal generator of the stable verity used to calibrate the temperature compensation of the KX3. I used my K3 as a signal source it worked fine. John Hendricks K7JLT Sent from my iPod On Nov 20, 2012, at 6:28, David Christ radio...@mchsi.com wrote: What am I missing?

Found it. Thanks all. What really had me puzzled is that when I entered xg50 (or XG50) in the search box at the top of the price list and order page I got Sorry, no matches were found containing xg50. No clue as to why. David K0LUM On Nov 20, 2012, at 5:42 PM, Gerald Manthey wrote: Its
