Mine just happens to be sub-1dB accurate as tested  I can't find the datasheet from the XG3 measurement  I did it several years ago. I power mine with a Bioenno battery rather than a wall wart, too. FYI... __ Clay Autery, KY5G (318) 518-1389 On 03/24/20 14:41, Greg

Best money I have spent on instrumentation I have used it for tons of stuff.  And it REALLY makes calibrating the K3s easier and IMO more accurate. __ Clay Autery, KY5G (318) 518-1389 On 03/24/20 14:17, Bill Smith via Elecraft wrote: Looking at buying the XG3 signal

Greg, The XG3 is a fine and easy to use tool. It is useful for a lot more than just calibrating the S-meter. When used with the XG3 Utility, it can serve as a full function signal generator with sweep capability. Yes, the output is a square wave, but as soon as the signal is fed into a

Bill, I've had my XG3 for a few years now and have never regretted buying it. Before I retired m business was in communications electronics. I worked for years with IFR which then became Aeroflex, out of Whichita. I had a Aeroflex 3920 communications analzer (which is still a high end piece of

Looking at buying the XG3 signal generator to calibrate S meters.  Particularly thought it would be very useful to calibrate the S meter in the HDSDR SDR software I use now.  I read the S meter calibration instructions in the manual and was happy to see how simple it is.  If I had tried to use
