[Elecraft] K3S XREF GPSDO recommendation needed

[Clay Autery]

Just curious...  Why would you choose NOT to discipline the OXCO?

And I agree.... wall warts, and indeed ALL switching supplies are the 
work of Satan.  <wink>

I have/am eliminated/ing everyone I can.

I don't have a device with an OXCO yet, but I am powering my TXCO GPSDO 
from Bodnar with a VERY quiet linear DC supply.  (Astron Linear with 
additional outboard regulation and filtering).

73,
