The optional TCXO was advertised to provide a certain better accuracy with software aid, but as it turns out, the optional TCXO, doesn't need the firmware upgrade to provide the advertised accuracy made possible by the firmware upgrade. If it makes you happier, you should ask Elecraft to let you return it, but the point you and Gary don't seem to understand is that after you remove that optional TCXO from your K3 you won't enjoy the accuracy you are seeing now. I bought one of the TCXO's. I'm pleased with the accuracy it has added to my K3. If Elecraft should provide the firmware to additionally improve my K3's accuracy, I will install it and enjoy the results. Until then I will enjoy my hobby, ham radio, while using my K3's to that end and not wasting my time measuring accuracy, features, readout layouts and a host of other things I hear others complaining about. I really don't know how they find time to use their rigs. When I got my first K3 I was a bit overwhelmed by it's functionality, but over time, by using it I began to really appreciate what I had, enough to acquire another one when the opportunity arose. 73, Tom, N5GE [email protected] K3 #806, K3 #1055, PR6, XV144, XV432, KRC2, W1 and other small kits. 2 W2's on order 1 K144XV on order http://www.n5ge.com http://www.swotrc.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
