While installing the K3EXREF SMA-TMP cable, I ran into an interesting issue which I do not yet know if it is a problem or just interesting.
There is a ferrule or something similar over the cable where it attaches to the SMA fitting that is installed on the back panel. while tightening the hex nut down, I must have torqued something as the ferrule broke into two pieces and fell off. I finished off the installation and verified that the GPSDO does provide a suitable 10 MHz signal into the radio. So the question becomes: is this interesting or a problem? I took a close look and the problem might be improper grounding of the shield to the chassis at the SMA connector end. If it is deemed to be a potential problem, I can request a new cable from support. It will not take long to replace the cable.
