I use the Dual Output part from Leo Bodnar so I can set one at 10MHz, and the other on a different frequency for use with my VNA. Additionally, I use Bodnar's NTP Server to serve extremely accurate time to everything that I own with an electronically settable clock, including my K3s

I have a Bodnar dual output GPSDO although I don't use it on my K3S.  Be advised that the software is very clunky and while you can get two different frequencies out, there are limitations on what they can be. Frankly, I don't know why you would want something like this for the K3(S).  The

I used this one from Geppetto Electronics when I last ran temperature compensation on my KX3: https://www.tindie.com/products/nsayer/gps-disciplined-ocxo/. One advantage is that it also produces NMEA output along with PPS, so one could build a GPS-based NTP server at some point in the future. It

The metal shield cover on the 2m module was not flat but slightly raised at the edge. I have pressed this back on and the problem seems cleared. So I guess it was contacting or coming close to the circuit board on the control module, perhaps that giving the feedback loop for RF. Question is -

I've done some further tests and proven the problem is with the MH3. So I'll have to take that apart and look for the problem. The radio is fine with little earbuds/mic plugged in via splitter cable. Swap out the mic on the earbuds with the MH3 and leave all the rest the same and it goes wrong.

If it is intermittent, then check for the KPA3A not being seated all the way down (pull Fan panel, 4 screws and inspect). Or it could be the relay on the KPAIO3A riser board. To confirm; click above and below 12W a bunch of times, if occasionally the RX comes and goes, it is that relay.
