As delivered the Rx888 has serious thermal problems and for radio science applications it needs an external GPS DO 27 MHz clock.

Paul WB6CXC created a screwdriver-only kit which fixes the thermal problems and adds a ground-isolated external clock SMA input port. Paul describes the installation and use of his kit at: https://turnislandsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/RX888-Kit-2.pdf

The kit is available at the TAPR web store: https://tapr.org/product/rx888-clock-kit-and-thermal-pad/.
