[Elecraft] WTB Trimble ThunderBolt for K3EXREF / QS1R

[Dave]

I have had a similar experience on 3400MHz EME. I used a 12V wallwart to
power my DEMI 10-4 10MHz splitter after my LPRO101 Rb Standard feeding the
K3 and the 10MHz locked Xverter. I got complaints from 3 continents that my
signals off the moon had 120Hz sidebands!

A caveat regarding the use of simple "wall wart" 12v PS for supplying a
OCXO.

I am using a Morion OCXO as 10-MHz reference for my K3EXREF and for 
my synthesized A32 PLL in my DEMI 1296 transverter.  I got reports of 
120-Hz sidebands on my signal (-10dBc) turned out to be due to 
excessive AC ripple riding on the 12v coming from my wall wart supply 
that I was using to power the OCXO.
