Well, that's kind of what I decided esp. since I
already had an XG1. hi. I agree that the frequency is
not that important. I actually use my PIC-EL with DDS
card more for things like testing the SR-40 than I do
the XG1, but once in awhile the accurate output is a
plus.

Eric,
I'd looked at the two schematics and decided that
the XG-2 wasn't worth 20
bucks more. The series capacitors are used to trim
the crystal frequency
similar to what I'd done in Rock-Mites. I'm not too
concerned about
frequency accuracy but do want signal level
accuracy.
I sent a message to Elecraft to confirm what you
already knew and what I
had thought about using pretty much any crystal.
On the Accuprobe thing, didn't seem to practical to
me to have an RF probe
that big. I've used one in my field strength meter
and another one is
partly modified to use with my NoGaWatt directional
coupler. Need to get
that done -- it will be a WM-2 work-a-like. I have
one more to use with
what ever project Chuck Adams was doing. Haven't
heard from him on that
one lately. My RF probes, non powered, will fit
inside a 22 magnum
cartrige case...[g]
