Re: [Elecraft] KTCX03-1 txco installation
I got a few replies off-list, and the module is now in and working. -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Don Sayler Sent: Thursday, January 2, 2020 11:19 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] KTCX03-1 txco installation Hi. I'm installing the 1ppm txco in my K3S. I'm not sure I understand this part of the instructions: "Place the rectangular insulator over the TCXO leads so it covers the bottom of the oscillator module." Does this mean that the black foam insulator goes between the TCXO and the KREF3 board? Does the insulator go such that it is 'parallel' to the TCXO, or at a right angle so the insulator sticks out a little on the sides? Do the TCXO leads poke through the insulator? I read the instructions before I ordered the part, and I thought that it would become clear once I had the unit in my hands. Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] KTCX03-1 txco installation
The black foam is only for protecting the pins during shipping - it is NOT the insulator that you want. Look for a thin flat rectangular piece of plastic - that is the insulator that you want. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/2/2020 2:18 PM, Don Sayler wrote: Hi. I'm installing the 1ppm txco in my K3S.
