Just as a minor FYI, here are the results of my new XG50 output during its
burn-in period. This was over 7 hours instead of the recommended 8, as the day
was over and I wanted to go home :-)
This was measured at ~12 volts supply, 70 degrees, to an HP frequency counter (I
forget the model). Note - this counter is out of cal, but I doubt it's very far
out.
Initial frequency: 49.379999 MHz (oscillator is 49.380 MHz nominal), for the
first several seconds after power up.
After ~ 2.5 hours: 49.379912 MHz
After 5 hours, till power off at 7 hours: 49.379925 MHz
All values are a complete non-issue when compared to Elecraft's spec of +/- 247
Hz nominal, and stability of +/- 2 Hz.
