Hi Eric, mobile so brief. Better stability over time and temps. It’s not essential, just desirable for some. The 10 MHz injection on a stock radio doesn’t do what you might expect, based on other Icom radios. Best advice is for interested people to read the traffic in the groups.io 9700 group! There is another option soon as well, but there are tradeoffs.

I was wondering what the advantage is for using this board vs the standard 10Mhz external reference on the 9700?
