[Elecraft] K3EXREF - What am I doing wrong

[Tighe Kuykendall]

Mike,

I'm planning to leave it on continuously although I did tap "1" to save 
the setting at what my final fully warmed up state should be. I bought 
an active GPS antenna which I have sitting in a windowsill and it seems 
to have a good GPS lock.  I have to try pretty hard to get it to loose 
GPS lock.  I'm also planning to try getting time information from the 
Bodnar device into a Raspberry Pi.

For reference, on my K3, here's the Ref Cal values:

My starting point: 49.380.010
Power-on and initial EXREF input: 49.379.951
After several hours of operating:  49.379.912

73, Tighe NK4I

> Glad you got it working. Mine also works like a charm. I did the calibration on both my K3's and then since I had the GPS Antenna on a stick shoved into the snowbank, I made it a temp setup. Question, are you leaving the Calibration on all the time or just use it once in a while. I am thinking of leaving the calibration on and just remount the GPS Antenna to a more suitable location.
