Don't keep us in the dark Henry, what are those other things and how do 
they work?  I've seen QRP plans that use 4-terminal oscillators, and I've 
always wondered why there was no filter indicated to get the square wave 
down to a sine wave....  Are there 4-terminal oscillators with (modulatable
, is that a word?) sine-wave outputs?
