[Elecraft] [K3] K3EXREF K144REFLK and K144XV

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Wayne,

What I guess I don't understand is why the TXCO functionality was never
finished.  Seems like that would help a number of accuracy/calibration
issues, and I bought the .5 ppm option expecting that it would be
useful.

I'm disappointed in what appears to be a decision to abandon finishing
that project.

On a related note, it wouldn't hurt to do something to fix the real time
clock, so I don't have to keep syncing it with my laptop to keep it
reasonably on time.

Thanks,

-- Dave, N8SBE
