Flex 5000 External Frequency Reference Requirements Sine or Square?

edited January 2020 in FLEX Series (Legacy) Radios
I am looking to add an external frequency reference to my my Flex 5000 and wish to know if the reference input requirement on the Flex 5000 or 1500 is sine wave or square wave? There seems to be discussion on the web at various places that sine wave is required but I would like an official response.  Thanks, Scott

    I'm hoping the 5000 is the same but I'm having doubts from what I have found online.   Also could not find the requirements specs in the copy of the manual I have for the 5000.

    All things being equal, I’d go with sine wave. Not too many things that work with square wave won’t work with sine, although the reverse may not be true.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
