Udo & Kevin, Thanks for the reply. I hadn't researched any of the options, I thought the K3EXREF was all I needed. Now that I have a better idea what to look for, I'll find something. I just need to be sure it fits
what the requirements are. I'm surprised to find almost all the sources are from China. I know they are trying ever more to make better products but something as precise as a 10 MHz standard that will be connected to my K3s, concerns when me buying from an unknown manufacturer. QC is always a concern. Sure wish there was an affordable kit with the proper connections that was available. If anyone has a 10 MHz reference signal source that works fine with the K3 & is excess to their needs, please contact me off list.
