[Elecraft] XG3 Arrived

[Wayne Burdick]

Ed,

You should not hear a hum or buzz when listening to the XG3 on a  
receiver. The fact that's it's not a sinewave doesn't mean that it has  
audio-frequency modulation; it is a pure carrier. You might be hearing  
60-Hz pickup due to the lack of a common ground, etc.
