[Elecraft] JT65 requirements, and a possible external reference-locking option for the KX3

[Bob]

Personally I have no interest in the 2 meter module, so such an accessory
might be useful -- but I'd vote for an external lock, AND higher precision
osc. on such a board if it could fit -- I won't be taking a reference osc.
along with me on portable operation.  But I do run JT65 due to its
excellent signal gain for low power/poor antennas.

Of course I would hope it could be turned on/off depending on mode so that
it doesn't drain too much power for something like CW.

PS:  I'd really take a look at what is going on in the firmware in response
to temp changes.  That's a HUGE change in frequency for such a small change
in temp, even for a simple osc.  Of course that's just me looking at the
response as a black box, not knowing what is going on inside! (in other
words, feel free to slap me)
