Yes, I've been following this as well. And to that end, I have a commercial GPS Disciplined Oscillator that is used as a reference for the test equipment in the shop. In checking my K3s I find, with the optional TCXO, the accuracy is typically +/-2 Hz on all bands. Few if many other transceivers will display or maintain this stand-a-lone accuracy. So I ask, what's the obsession with accuracy better than this for amateur use?

I've been following the thread on using a 10 mHZ external reference and the 
prospect seems both affordable and at least initially fun BUT I'd like to ask 
is it really a practical improvement over Elecraft's available KTCXO3 internal 
1ppm reference?  Or is this just a way to achieve more accuracy at less cost 
than the KTCXO3 ?  Isn't the K3S better served with its own oscillator?  What 
am I missing here?
