Randy,

The External Reference will lock no matter which TCXO is used. Yes, both the standard +/- 5ppm and +/-1ppm TCXOs are true TCXOs. The difference between the two will be the desired short term temperature stability when the External Reference is not active.

I think the rest of your list is accurate.

Your choice of the external reference type is quite apart from this response. I have the Thunderbolt and am quite happy with it.

Good evening all. After seeing all the posts on GPSDO's I need a bit of
advice and clarification.
I have a K3 with new Synth boards (main and sub). I am thinking I need
equipment for freq stabilization/reference. I am looking at all of the
following and am not sure if I actually need all or any, and if I should,
do I need all of the following:
Will be using -  *K144XV

Internal
2 M 10w Option*
*KTCXO3-1  TCXO*
*K3EXREF*  *Ext. Frequency Reference Input*
*K144RFLK  K144XV Reference Lock Board *
Leo Bodnar GPS Frequency Reference (or something similar)
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!
