It is my opinion that the K3s rates the use of a proper quality frequency counter. I bought a used, "lab grade" counter with an OXCO, and supply it with an external GPSDO signal.
Is it required? No, not really.... I initially calibrated the K3s with one of the government time beacons... not the simplest procedure that is often mentioned, but requiring a few iterations... Pretty confident that it was accurate to within 1-2 Hz... Careful... calibration and precision can become quite addictive... :) 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 2/11/2017 11:39 AM, stengrevics wrote: > I am considering buying a frequency counter to calibrate my K3S.
