Results; IC706, 3W o/p, 13.700MHz 30min on / 30 min off cycle for three hours. Maximum frequency excursion less than 70 mHz. TS850, 3W o/p, 13.700MHz ditto; Maximum frquency excursion less than 50 mHz. The Racal - Dana counter runs continuously, and both transceivers were run overnight to let them settle. The shack has thermostat controlled radiators but even so the temperature can walk about quite a bit so the test conditions were typical of normal operation. I reckon that the stability is adequate for most purposes :-)) Should be radiating soon. 73 de Ian MI0AYZ
