[Elecraft] KX3 Feature Ask

[Dave AD6A]

A great little radio it is, agreed. I have two of them that I use as I.F. radios on my 10 & 24GHz portable microwave station setups. They are perfect for that function, using the 2m option as the I.F. especially when mated with a PX3. I drag my microwave gear all over the place, including mountain tops. I phase lock my microwave transverters to a GPS disciplined 10MHz OCXO and would simply like to be able to do the same with the I.F. radio so that I know exactly what frequency I'm on, especially when looking for exceedingly weak transmissions. I know for sure there are many of us microwavers that do the same thing.

FWIW I have a fully loaded K3s in my home station that's also locked to a GPS standard, as is all my RF test equipment.

Regards,
Dave AD6A

Come on. This is a great little radio. But it’s designed to be s great “little” portable radio. How many will carry a 10 MHz ref oscillator to a mountain top. 

If you’re looking for a full fledged base station with all the options, get a K3S.
