Re: [Elecraft] Cheap ref osc to lock K3

My experience is that the simple GPS-based 10 MHz reference works well with the K3. The K3 is quoted as measuring frequency to 1 Hz accuracy, implying a measurement time of the order of 1 second. That seems to be enough to smooth out the jitter from the Neo-7M. Of course, there are better solutio

Re: [Elecraft] Question on P3 operation

John, The VFO B has no direct relationship to the subRX. The K3 simply has 2 VFOs - try to think of it that way rather than anything about the subRX. While it is a fact that with the subRX installed, VFO B is normally used for tuning the subRX, but that can be altered. Without the subRX instal

Hi John, I can speak for the small U shaped cursors. My explanation might be incorrect for the tall cursors. Yes, VFO-A is green and VFO-B is magenta. The magenta cursor doesn't change to red. A third cursor, red, appears when you are transmitting on an offset frequency. You will see it when you

Re: [Elecraft] Cheap ref osc to lock K3

I bought a module like that. If you set the output frequency to something that divides evenly into 48MHz, then the output is quite stable. Otherwise, if you set it to something else like 10MHz, the jitter is quite obvious on the scope. It is fine for jobs like calibrating a frequency counter or
