As soon as you filter out the harmonics - which the receiver does very well - you have a sine wave.
Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Wayne, Wouldn't you hear it on a radio in CW mode? The tone is added in receiver, so hearing tone means hearing "pure carrier". Last I knew CW is the "pure carrier". 73, Igor, N1YX -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 8:31 PM To: Edward R. Cole Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Arrived Ed, You should not hear a hum or buzz when listening to the XG3 on a receiver. The fact that's it's not a sinewave doesn't mean that it has audio-frequency modulation; it is a pure carrier. You might be hearing 60-Hz pickup due to the lack of a common ground, etc. Wayne N6KR On Apr 20, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Edward R.
