[Elecraft] KTCX03-1 high stability reference oscillator

[Jim - N4ST]

Hank,

>From time to time I do meteor scatter on 6M and being 200 Hz off with
MSK-144 means you won't decode.
While the standard oscillator should keep me within bounds when properly
calibrated, I experienced problems.
Installing a new KTCX03 cured my stability issues.
This wouldn't be a problem on the JT or FT modes, but some other future
exotic digital mode might be more demanding.

Hey Folks.

In real world "seat-of-the-pants" experience, what difference if any would I
see upgrading to the KTCX03-1?  I eventually would add the reference kit to
the internal 2 meter transverter.

 

One thought was improvement for FT8 (and eventually FT4) on HF and MFSK on 2
meters.  I have read some saw an improvement in transmitted phase noise -
especially with a linear amp.

 

I'm just trying to prioritize my K3S upgrades before there are no K3S parts
left to go around!!
