Yes, I've now got a commercial synth that goes down to 100kHz in 1Hz steps
which should solve your need for N/M Hz intervals. It can supply up to
13dBm so putting that into my (-36dBi) gain antenna may be enough. If not,
can always add a quickie amplifier module
You can either have the carrier derived from Caesium (2 - 3 hours notice
needed)
or from GPS (30 minutes notice)
