Kev, Glad it's working! I'm enough OCD that after being a few Hz off every so often and going through the ref cal procedure, I bought the exref option and a BFG7TBL GPSDO on fleabay. With this, the K3 & now K3s is adjusted perfectly at all times and the computer clock is dead on constantly.
I used NMEATime for the satellite software for time and it's for me, perfect, never fails. Rarely I'll find the P3 is a tad off but when it is, all I do now is find WWV, set the span the the narrowest, tap the P3 menu button, select ref cal, tap select, adjust the encoder till the center P3 line is in the center of the signal, tap select and I'm done. As the radio is always kept stable with the GPSDO, it's that one occasional above set of actions that takes 30 seconds, to keep the P3 in perfect sync. I believe Wayne said the hardware to connect directly to the GPSDO is included with the upcoming K4 series. 73, Gary KA1J > Only to read the scale. Keyed from the rig. > > It's working guys!
