[Elecraft] New signal generator XG3

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Yeah, just to prove those Italians on 40m really ARE 40 over 9...
Stacked 5 element yagis and push-pull 3CX5000A's.

Will be interesting to see if the phase noise is low enough to allow
us to run filter shapes down past -60 dB.

Zero dB will allow me to use a tuned rubber duckie per band for
precise pattern measurements and RX antenna sensitivity and null
adjustments.  Turn it on, haul it way up in a tree, and go make
adjustments. Hope any auto turn off is an option.  Also maybe a very
slow beep for power saving.  Maybe even <long bleep> .... <long bleep>
 K2AV/B  0.   And then K2AV/B  BATT when batt is low enough to drop
out of calibration.  Maybe even cycle 0, -33, -73...

Isn't it awful how much new stuff we can dream up on top of a new
release. :>)   But I ordered mine, so I've paid the dues.

73, Guy
