Dave,
You didn't say what Txcvr your friend has... The method for adjusting the
master oscillator will vary, of course.

As for a frequency reference to check against, WWV at the highest freq he
can receive is the best most people have available. As for using the XG3-
No. It is an excellent signal -level- source, but not a particularly good
frequency reference (+/- 50 ppm spec).

Bruce, N1RX
