Ok -
Just resurrected the old linear 5W LF test transmitter so that will do if
necessary. The synth trace is rock steady on a scope when compared with its
input reference signal, so no nasty internal PLL artefacts, and it does
generate what it says on the dial. The synth has been used before to drive
a microwave beacon and it was happy with 24/7 operation for a few months
So ready when you are...
