I had the same. Finally I did read the release notes:

K3EXREF USERS MUST NOW ENABLE THE MODULE IN THE MENU: To do this, locate the CONFIG:REF CAL menu entry and tap 2 to change the setting; flashes XREF IN or XREFOUT. If you DO NOT have a K3EXREF module installed, use the XREFOUT setting (the default). If you use the XREF IN setting without a K3EXREF module installed, you may hear digital switching noise on the 6-meter band.

I just realized that both my K3's running FW 4.67 are no longer locking to
the K3EXREF calibration signal from a Trimble Thunderbolt. Specifically, the
"REF CAL" config menu item does not show the flashing asterisk and moving
the main tuning knob does not show "LOCKED". I have had the K3EXREF
installed and operating properly with both rigs for at least a year.

The Trimble Thunderbolt provides the 10MHz calibration signal to both K3's
though a MiniCircuits splitter. After checking the power supply and output
levels of the Thunderbolt, which were nominal, I decided to see if the K3
firmware could be responsible, since I had fairly recently upgraded to 4.67.
Indeed, rolling back to 4.51 re-enables the normal "REF CAL" behavior!

Can anyone else verify this?
