[Elecraft] 10 MHz reference osc. suggestion?

I have a Bodnar dual output GPSDO although I don't use it on my K3S.  Be advised 
that the software is very clunky and while you can get two different frequencies 
out, there are limitations on what they can be.

Frankly, I don't know why you would want something like this for the K3(S).  The 
high stability TCXO is fine if you leave the radio powered continuously as I do, 
otherwise, it's quite good after about a 20 minute warmup.  Use your counter to 
measure the TCXO directly and adjust the ref cal parameter manually.
