Soon there is going to be an option that will allow one to synchronize the 2Meter transverter with the K3's LO. This should help quite a bit. In the event that you want stability and accuracy there will also soon be an option that will allow one to input a 10Mhz reference and the K3 will regularly calibrate its internal LO using the 10Mhz input.
