The XG3 is perfect for this calibration. Freq is not critical as ling as its 
close to 50. Our XG50 is actually a little below 50 Mhz. (I think it used the 
ref oscillator module from the K3.)

Eric,

Curiously the Elecraft procedurehttp://www.elecraft.com/manual/KX3%20Custom%20VFO%20TC%20rev%20A9.pdf says 

Note that the Elecraft XG3 lacks the necessary stability and is not recommended.
