[Elecraft] XG3 Arrived

[Edward R. Cole]

My XG3 came in the mail, today.  Haven't played with it very much but 
did connect it to +13v and set it on 14.020 at 0dBm into a 2m rubber 
duckie (nice match - I know) and there is enough signal to hear 
it.  Note is not that of a sine wave but the "buzz-hum" of a square 
wave.  Certainly fine for testing.  I will have to pick up some 9v 
batteries for it.  Cute little guy!  Very handy to take anywhere.

I have on order 7-pole Low Pass filters from CoilCraft which I am 
hoping will filter out harmonics producing a sine wave.  The filters 
and boards are expected after Friday (also by mail).
