[Elecraft] K3EXREF install in K3 build?

[Matt Zilmer]

If the K3EXREF is left unconnected to an external frequency reference,
it should not affect any calibrations.  If it is connected to a ref
oscillator, it would affect your reference freq calibration - in that
you wouldn't really need to do it at all.

I would go without it until you get the basic radio together, just the
same.  "Should not" isn't that same as "won't".

I was one of the Field Testers for the ref board, and I went through
the process both ways: as a "new build", and again as an add-on.
Neither of them was affected by the presence of the ref board.

Others may have differing opinions.
