[Flexradio] External 10 MHz reference input for 6700?

2014-05-19 Thread Jerry Flanders
In the 6700 rear panel views, I don't see any input for an external 10 MHz GPS reference. I already have a Trimble Thunderbolt unit I use with my 5000 and would like to use it with a 6700. Do I have to get the Flex GPS option to get GPS stability? Jerry W4UK

Jerry: Yes. When the radio boots, the current software will auto-detect the presence of an external 10 MHz reference input that is above the minimum input level and use it instead of the internal OCXO (6700) or internal TCXO (6500). It does this at boot time, so if you apply the 10 MHz input
