If the Chinese TCXOs for the K3 are anything like the ones for Kenwood I have measured, they exhibit much higher phase noise. That will result in much increased transmit phase noise. That will interfere with anyone trying to listen close to you in location and frequency.
The K3 is a good neighbor, which is one of the reasons it is prized for DXpeditions and Multi Radio contest stations. 73, Mark W7MLG On Wed, Mar 10, 2021, 7:33 AM Wes <[email protected]> wrote: > If it mattered to me I would give the Chinese version a shot. > > Wes N7WS > > On 3/10/2021 6:18 AM, Gary Peterson wrote: > > A replacement K3S KTCXO3-1 is no longer available from Elecraft.
