So you bought the TCXO because you wanted to be able to say that it was further temperature compensated by firmware? Because what was promised was that it would get to 0.5PPM via additional firmware correction. Well it turns out that the oscillators already do that out of the box. Thus implementing even further enhancement got moved very low on the list because people were already receiving that which they were promised.
At the moment there are MANY things that the P3 will be able to do that are yet to be promised. You can easily tell by looking at the back of one at a hamfest. There is a VGA connector port, a USB Keyboard port, and a port to accept a W2 sensor... Think of all the possibilities that can come from this. Not to mention.. Think of all the features that have come to the K3 that weren't promised! I'd hope that you purchased the TCXO so that you could have 0.5PPM rather than 5PPM accuracy on your reference You can be comforted if that is the case as you are actually getting exactly what you paid for. ~Brett (N7MG) On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 8:46 AM, Radio Amateur N5GE <n...@n5ge.com> wrote: > On Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:07:58 -0700 (PDT), "Leigh L.
