Something I've noticed that I like very much is the quality of the video you see in the MMTTY scope when using the internal card in the K3s. When I was using a rather decent E-MU 0404 USB sound card for my RTTY needs with the K3, the XY scope showed the two opposing ovals as white bands that

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

I think everyone is ignoring something here. What causes the frequency drift in the first place? It is temperature changes - the designation TCXO signifies Temperature Compensated Xtal Oscillator. It is already compensated for temperature. If the temperature of the TCXO stays the same, the

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Frequency corrections can only be made in 1Hz steps (at 49.380MHz) and because the higher-specification TCXO should drift more slowly, fewer corrections should be required. But this would only be relevant if someone is using an ultra-narrowband digital mode that is sensitive to sudden small

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference - GPSDO

Hi Oli, I agree it looks like there is no point in paying for the TCXO-3 if you have a reliable constantly available 10 MHz external reference. Perhaps they recommend the better TCXO as a better fallback if for any reason the external ref is not available, I can't think of any other reason for
