[Elecraft] Signal source for KX3 temperature frequency calibration

[G4GNX]

It’s true that both rigs *can* use a 10MHz reference, but the far better way to run the IC-9700 is by using an injection board which pulls the onboard TCXO from the GPS reference at 49.152MHz, instead of using the 10MHz input which is only checked periodically.

The only disadvantage is that 2 different devices are required, one for 49.152MHz and one for 10MHz (for the K4).

Alan - G4GNX
