Re: LF: Low freq DDS VFO any ideas / for sale etc ?

Graham,

      Be aware that some of the available DDS kits use a
non-temperature compensated reference oscillator and may not be
suitable for longer duration QRSS work unless you take care to keep
them in a constant temp environment.
 I ran an inexpensive DDS driving my 137kHz transmitter, and you could
tell when I turned the thermostat up or down in the hamshack by the
direction of drift of my QRSS 60 signals!
 The worst case was when I had it sitting in a rack above my
oscilloscope, you should have seen the drift after using the scope and
turning it off!
