Gosh, it would seem that simple overtone xtal oscillator in a very straightforward MOPA arrangement would yield a clean signal with plenty of power a lot more easily than trying to clean up and amplify the XG3.
Yes, you'd still need a keying system, but a simple PIC would handle that. Great scratch-build homebrew project for any budding solder jockey, and an hour's tinkering for the more experienced. Build it "floating" or "manhattan" style on a bit of scrap pc board.
