Correction - I was just informed of the "error of my ways".
The K3EXTREF option is separate from the KXV3.

John,

That is already in place for the K3 with the External Reference (part of 
the KXV3 option).
True that does not help with the XV series LO, and I am not certain 
where another connector could be added to the KX3 unless the 2 meter 
option were not installed and the SMA connector for that option were 
used for the external reference option.
