Thanks Jim….Good feedback. Any other worthwhile mods to achieve stability?

While the standard oscillator should keep me within bounds when properly calibrated, I experienced problems. Installing a new KTCX03 cured my stability issues. This wouldn't be a problem on the JT or FT modes, but some other future exotic digital mode might be more demanding. _________ 73, Jim - N4ST -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2019 13:36 To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] KTCX03-1 high stability reference oscillator Hey Folks. In real world "seat-of-the-pants" experience, what difference if any would I see upgrading to the KTCX03-1? I eventually would add the reference kit to the internal 2 meter transverter. One thought was improvement for FT8 (and eventually FT4) on HF and MFSK on 2 meters. I have read some saw an improvement in transmitted phase noise - especially with a linear amp. I'm just trying to prioritize my K3S upgrades before there are no K3S parts left to go around!!
