[MCARC] KA0AKT

Mike:

That was me asking about the XG3.  I realize it's yours for testing and not
for sale.  I just wanted your opinion on it's value and anybody else's
option that also has one.

The hardline would get used on a cross-band repeater that I'm intending to
install, mostly for personal use to help me get out of this hole.  Not
expecting it to be donated for that purpose (but wouldn't argue with it
either).
