After rereading your question I think I missed the point...

The TX needs to be GPS stablized.  If it isn't the readout from the 
clicklock alg. will be meaningless at best and nothing at worst.  
Consider the BW of the signal if we're integrating over 300 seconds!  
That's +/- a couple of mHz, so not alot of room for error.  Thankfully, 
GPSs and DDS setups make this easy to deal with.    It's like seeing the 
world through a powerful telescope.  If you're not setup correctly or 
the signal you're looking for is wandering around it will be next to 
impossible to find and make measurements on.
