K3 freq. stability question?

Mike Maloney
Other than the 49MHz REF OSC, what hardware determines or effects the frequency
accuracy and stability in the K3?

Thanks and 73,
Mike  AC5P

All signal sources are phase locked to this reference, Mike.

The other factor is synth DDS resolution, which is about 1/5th Hz, and  
can lead to about a +/- 1 Hz error, worst case, during operation.  
However, in diversity mode, both synths are set to the same DDS  
digital word, so there's zero offset. (This is not true of some other  
radios claiming to do diversity.)
