Wes,

Yes.  I'm a stickler for accuracy.  It always bothered me that the
so-called 'temperature compensated' LO in the K3 was not actively being
steered by temperature compensation (i.e. I could only put static
temperature offsets into the rig memory from the data sheet that came
with the oscillator). That was a 'feature' that was never released. At
HF frequencies, it was only an annoyance, but using UHF transverters,
the error compounds (I'm using a crystal oven in my UHF transverter, but
the lack of one in the K3 caused drifting).

I use a Citizen watch with WWVB reception, so the time on my wrist is
never more than 50 ms off.

Anally yours,
