Wow, per-band alignment?

Is this for the RX sideband gain/phase nullification?  I did that when
connecting my KXFL3 (purchased separately, so required to do).  However,
I only did it using the rather cool little white wire "antenna" loop
included by Elecraft with the KXFL3, which sniffs the 16MHz clock of the
board, using that as a signal source.  If per-band alignment is now
possible to do, what are the recommendations for using other frequencies
besides 16MHz?  This will be difficult for me, because I don't have a
signal generator that can create an artificial "known good" signal for
any other bands.

Thank you!
