Page 17 of the K3 Owner's Manual (Rev D2) shows an SMA connector for 
"Input for external standard frequency reference" for which a KREF3-EXT 
option purports to be available eventually.  I understand from what has 
been said earlier is that this will be for a 10MHz standard so you will 
need to use the 60kHz MSF signal to lock a 10MHz TCXO or use a GPS, 
Rubidium or Caesium standard.

Elecraft are busy preparing the K144XV for despatch and developing the 
P3, so we might have to wait a while for the KREF3-EXT despite the 
option being shown in the early editions of the K3 manual.

I am told that patience is a virtue.
