You should be subscribed to Timenuts.
But clearly one of us is confused. If you're using an OCXO in your transverter
and up converting the K3, how does K3 drift/inaccuracy "compound" at UHF?
Can you read that watch to 50 ms? What are you going to do when WWVB goes QRT?

Wes,
Yes. I'm a stickler for accuracy. It always bothered me that the
so-called 'temperature compensated' LO in the K3 was not actively being
steered by temperature compensation (i.e. I could only put static
temperature offsets into the rig memory from the data sheet that came
with the oscillator). That was a 'feature' that was never released. At
HF frequencies, it was only an annoyance, but using UHF transverters,
the error compounds (I'm using a crystal oven in my UHF transverter, but
the lack of one in the K3 caused drifting).
I use a Citizen watch with WWVB reception, so the time on my wrist is
never more than 50 ms off.
Anally yours,
