[Elecraft] XG2 Frequency Accuracy

Yeah, I understand that.  I was just wondering how close they might be 
since I don't have a clue what the tolerance is of the crystals used by 
Elecraft.  Specifically, I was wondering if they would be close enough 
(typically) to use for in-band IMD tests as a function of AGC settings.  
Or at least close enough that whichever one was higher in frequency 
could be easily padded down to within a few tens of Hz or so of the other.
