Phil,

Note that those are optional - not required, but they are useful if one 
wants to do the precise adjustments - the default settings will give you 
a fully working K3.

The Elecraft XG2 has a 50 uV output level, look at the Mini Kits.

I have a signal generator that goes up to 5 MHz but I am pretty certain that the voltage adjust does not go down to 50 microVolts (it is pretty cheap).
