10MHz reference input

Hi everyone!
I wonder what would be the benefit of using a very low phase noise external 10MHz source?
Thanks,

Hi Jorge,

The short answer is 'no'. The more complete answer is in the link below from Steve Hicks, N5AC from Flex.

At my station, I use a Leo Bodnar unit and it works great. Steve's answer to the question above leaves me no doubt that my GPSDO is not adding noise to my receiver.
