I am building some LP filters using 7-pole CoilCraft filters that I
am installing in custom-made copper enclosures with
BNC-male/BNC-female connectors. After I make and test a couple, I
might consider making some for sale if there is interest. No idea on
price, yet.
I bought an aluminum enclosure that will be used with the XG3 and
uses a BNC-FF fedthru adaptor to shield the XG3 for use with
attenuators for making receiver tests below -140 dBm. It will run on
battery to eliminate any sneak paths for RF leakage.
For QRSS modes one could use a transistor switch to key the
output. That is how I keyed the output of a DDS synthesizer on
500-KHz for driving my 100w 600m xmtr. Of course the K3 does all
modes on 500-KHz at 0 dBm and that is what I currently use as driver.

At 1 mW or less on its operating frequency, this is unlikely to cause
any problems. The 2nd harmonic and higher order even harmonics are over
30 dB down from that, and the odd harmonics are 7-10 dB down. It
certainly shouldn't cause any issues at VHF.
That said, you can always add a simple in-line LPF to roll off the
harmonics the additional amount desired.
