KTCXO3-1 TCXO 1 PPM

NK7Z
Hi,
I have a pretty well loaded K3, has anyone changed out the OSC on on a
K3 before, and could you share your thoughts on how difficult it would
be, or if there are any issues you have run into?  

I reviewed the instructions, and it looks very simple, and to be about a
10 minutes job...  Is it actually that easy to install?

Thanks and 73's,

>>>  Is it actually that easy to install?

Yes, it is. Just remember, you really do want to use a
static mat and wrist strap whenever you open up your K3 to
work on something internal to it.

I ran with the KTCXO3-1 from the time I built my K3 two years ago,
but then added the K3EXREF and a Trimble Thunderbolt this spring.
However, should there be a problem either of the latter, I know I can
quickly and easily revert to the KTCXO3-1 as needed. It's a heady
experience to know that when I set the frequency on the K3, it's
accurate to the last Hertz - a far cry from the 75A-3 I used as a Novice.
