/F at 1mw so there is virtually no heating inside the K3 to cause drift. Running a K3 with 100w might yield different results. My understanding is that the K4 has the EXREF as standard, if one wants to use an external frequency standard (correct me if that is not true). 73, Ed - KL7UW On 3

like an OCXO or GPSDO. When the TCXO drifts off frequency the EXREF corrects that about every 4-seconds. High frequency stability is needed when running certain digital modes such as FT8. Also, useful if your K3 is driving a VHF/UHF/mw transverter. 73, Ed - KL7UW Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 07
