[Elecraft] KX3 Stability

[Chuck Smallhouse]

I think that the external or internal locking to a stable 10 MHz 
source is probably of a higher priority for UHF and Microwave users, 
as well as JT65 and other EME'rs, than a less than highly stable 
internal 2M xvrtr.  A small, external phase locked LO, 2M xvrtr box 
or module, that can be driven by the common 10MHz stable source, is 
also doable.  This also has the advantage that if 2 M is not 
immediately needed it can be turned off, or left a home, in the 
interest of power savings .

  I've bought some 10 MHz double oven OCXO modules from an offshore 
surplus dealer, with good results, for $38 shipped.  They claim 2 X10 
-12 and the brand name is C-Max.  Ideal for phase locked LOs.

Google "Flyingbest's Equipment" (also on EBay)  for a list of their 
sale items.  Delivery has been less than 10 days.
