[Elecraft] KXBC3 clock drift

[Bill Frantz]

I certainly agree with Jim about liking light weight radios. I 
take my K3 out 2 or 3 times a year, and being able to easily 
carry it is very welcome. My KX3 is a perfect airplane rig.

But the real advantage of the radios, and the K3 in particular, 
is their modular construction. When the K3S came out it was 
possible to gain most of the advantages of K3S by upgrading a 
K3. Keeping up with advances in the art is not only cheaper, 
it's fun installing updates.
