[Elecraft] K3: advice about options to buy?

[David Gilbert]

I'm curious ...  has anyone measured the actual difference in frequency 
stability with and without the KTCX03?  I'm under the impression that 
the stock frequency stability is pretty solid.  And aside from critical 
VHF/UHF work, is there any place that difference makes a ... well, uhh 
... difference?

73,
