[Elecraft] Reintroducing the Elecraft XG3: That gadget your shack keeps asking for

[Lyle Johnson]

Alan,

Naw, you need an HP 608D (62 lbs) plus an HP606A (43 lbs).
And the fox hunters will find the pair immediately, just look for a tree
with really strong branches, no receiver required.
Or, if you need to QSY really fast, instead of the 606A, use a Measurements
65B...

73,
