Hi Tighe:
Tnx for the info. Once we get spring or summer I will move my active antenna up
higher so it can get a pretty good shot of the sky. If I had left the antenna
where it was it would be under snow by now. I was amazed how fast the unit
locked onto Satellites and it worked like a charm. I
Mike,
I'm planning to leave it on continuously although I did tap "1" to save
the setting at what my final fully warmed up state should be. I bought
an active GPS antenna which I have sitting in a windowsill and it seems
to have a good GPS lock. I have to try pretty hard to get it to loose

Wow! Great tip -- totally forgot the "tap" "2" step.
My EXREF had quit some time ago and checking 10-MHz sources all
tested good so I figured my "beta test" unit had given it up. Too
busy to investigate further.
It stopped after I had a firmware glitch so now guessing that shut
off the EXRE
Tighe:
Glad you got it working. Mine also works like a charm. I did the calibration on
both my K3's and then since I had the GPS Antenna on a stick shoved into the
snowbank, I made it a temp setup. Question, are you leaving the Calibration on
all the time or just use it once in a while. I am thi
Thanks to everyone that responded. I looked at that errata several

what I get for working on it in the middle of the night.

before it can be used if your K3 is equipped with MCU firmware 4.57 or
later.
Enable the K3EXREF module as follows:

I picked up the Leo Bodnar frequency reference and a K3EXREF board after
reading a couple of threads here. I Installed the board according to
instructions, took static precautions, am using a known good cable from
the K3 to said reference. I can clearly hear the 10MHz tone on my K3
