The Turn Island Systems RX-888 Clock Kit, designed by Paul Elliott, WB6CXC, with TAPR input, includes an interface board that provides the appropriate termination, attenuation, and isolation for an external reference clock, as generated by a Bodnar or similar GPSDO. The kit also includes a replacement back-panel and a 10 cm jumper cable. Please note that once this modification has been completed the RX-888 will not operate without the external clock. This modification can be easily reversed, restoring normal operation.
This item is now stocked in the TAPR store and can ship today. Look for other collaborations between TAPR and Turn Island Systems.

This is fantastic news! The RX-888 Clock Kit seems like a well-thought-out solution to increasing the performance of the RX-888 with an external reference clock.
For those of us who are new to using an external reference clock with the RX-888, can you provide more detailed instructions or resources on how to install and configure the Clock Kit?
complete instructions and resources are on the product page. You are asking for what already exists. That is as detailed as it gets, sorry!
