[Elecraft] Tr: K3 Ref connector

[David Pratt]

The connector is referred to on page 17 of the latest K3 Owner's Manual 
and my K3 rear panel is labelled "REF."

In consequence, I have bought a Racal-Dana 9474 Rubidium Frequency 
Standard which is now poised to plug in as soon as the KREF3-EXT is 
available, hopefully quite soon.
