[Elecraft] JT65 with KX3

[Edward R Cole]

Don and Brian:

I had good luck just using my XG3 as signal source for the temp 
compensation on 50-MHz.
I did monitor freq on my prof. counter.

Brian,

The XG50 is not really expensive and is a good stable source.  It is
'cheap' compared to the frustration factor involved with trying to use
other methods.
If you have access to an instrument lab with highly stable signal
sources in the 50MHz range, then you are all set, but most are not so
fortunate.

The problem in justifying the price is that it is seldom used once you
do the KX3 calibration.  Maybe we should create a 'ham sharing XG50'
network to allow each to pay a portion of the total cost of the XG50.
That would work fine if you have several locals with a KX3 - check with
your local club.
