I used mine the other day to calibrate my filters gains. It was easy to get them all matched up using the XG2 and the amplitude scale.
Another use I plan for it is to adjust the preamp's in my xv432, xv144 and other devices with preamp's using the N-GEN. It should function very well as a piece of test gear too. 73, Tom Childers Radio Amateur N5GE Licensed since 1976 QCWA Life Member 35102 ARRL Life Member Retired Professional C# Software developer http://www.n5ge.net On Wed, 23 Feb 2011 17:42:07 -0800 (PST), juergen <[email protected]> wrote: > >Hi Bill > >The most logical next step would be transmit monitoring. > >I would like to see the facility for 2 directional couplers.
