Marvin my xe card is 2 years old. How do you connect the clock to my board?

How can I perform the upgrade?

We will do everything for you, free of charge. When purchasing the Master OCXO Clock upgrade you will receive a pre-paid UPS Express return label. We’d ask you to pack your card and we’ll arrange for UPS courier service to pick up your package. Once it reaches our factory in Poland, your card will be upgraded to accept the clock signal from the Master OCXO module. To achieve this, we’ll install the adapter specifically developed for the XE card that allows you to connect the RF cable in place of the standard oscillator on the card. The prepared and tested card, along with the Master OCXO module and the RF cable for connecting both components, will then be shipped back to you, also through UPS Express shipping service. The entire process, from receiving your card to delivering the upgraded card with the Master OCXO to your doorstep, will take approximately 7 working days.

Marcin,
Do you have any additional information about the S1 Evo? I understand that it should be available in the states in about a month. How would you describe the improvements?
