Now I'm just waiting for Elecraft to get the K3EXREF board in production to the point they are available. I have obtained a Trimble Thunderbolt, a Larsen marine GPS (read white mushroom) antenna and have ordered a 3 voltage power supply for the Trimble. Right now I have it running on a pair of Lambda analog supplies (5 V and a +/- 12) tied together. I still need to make up the cable to run from the Trimble to the K3.
My main question at this time is - What type connector is going to be on the rear of the K3 for the external ref? The only thing I can find in the K3 manual (Rev D9) is on page 17 and it indicated that it's an SMA so if that's the case, I'll need to make up an SMA male-to-male cable to come from the Trimble to the K3. (My Thunderbolt came with a Mini-Circuits ZFSC-2-1, 5-500MHz splitter. It was already connected to the 10MHz output by a short BNC to SMA connector, leaving 2 output ports from the splitter open. I can make or obtain an SMA-SMA cable or if the K3EXREF input is a BNC, cables are already on hand for that. Would appreciate any info on this prior to my being able to buy the board.
