Hi Someone pointed out that we all have different 49 MHz oscillators. I guess that many K3 owners have TCXO and thus no input for the voltage control i.e. VCXO. This pin is indicated in the KREF3 shematic as pin 1 (VCTRL) of Z1. My KTCXO3-1 did not have this pin and could not be used vith the

Guys, Someone on the fora pointed out that we all have different 49 MHz oscillators! I guess that many K3 owners *have bought oscillators delivered without input for the voltage control* not knowing that a future locking to an external reference would *not* be possible. The KTCXO3-1 delivered

One of the reasons I chose the K3 was eventual 10-MHz ext. reference capability. Hopefully, it's still on the table for development and not permanently shelved. I can certainly understand the need to prioritize other K3 features and accessories before producing the external 10 MHz Reference
