[Elecraft] New Elecraft product: XG3 All-Band RF Signal Source

[Bill (K9YEQ)]

Wayne, 

Did you leave room inside for an SSB SMD board and micro tuner?  I ordered
one so I just need to know.  I also did the 144 transverter mod just after
noting the email for the former.  In the meantime you guys slipped me a head
fake with the 144 mod so I called! I hope I don't miss anything coming out
tomorrow in this order.  Like a remote 1.5 KW tuner.  :-)

73,

You could key it from a PC with a couple of RS232 commands, although the
keying won't be shaped unless you do it externally.

As far as I know, no one on our staff has made a QSO on an XG3 yet.  
But keep in mind that 0 dBm is only 30 dB below 1 watt. So if your 1-W QRP
rig is S9 at the receiving end, the XG3 would be about S3.

Suitable antenna design is left to the reader.
