[PVRCNC] signal generator

I recently sold my FT-950 to finance purchase of the KXPA100 amp for my 
KX3.  It's a FB rig but I've discovered that it is not stable enough for 
use with digi modes, especially JT9, JT65, etc.  The recommended fix 
from Elecraft seems to be an "Extended VFO Temperature Compensation 
Procedure".  In order to perform that however, I'll need a high quality 
signal generator with a stabilized oscillator capable of injecting an RF 
carrier at 50 MHz.  I don't have one, and am writing to ask if anyone in 
the club might be able to help me with that piece of equipment.  This is 
an unexpected problem, and I hope to get it resolved before the 13 
Colonies event, as I'll be operating a lot on digi modes for that.  The 
FT-950 was rock solid on digi modes and I didn't expect to experience a 
problem like this with the KX3, given the cost.
Tnx
