LF/MF,
 I want to build an analog oscillator running on 1888....1916 kHz. It 
will be used as the input VFO for my PA which divides the frequency by 4 
internally. A metallic box with 12V input voltage cables and a RG174 
cable for the output is already available. Also a 78L05 with its 100nF 
Cs is mounted. Later i can label the scale directly with 472...479 kHz, 
so the need to divde by 4 in my head will not be necessary any more.
 The output voltage should be arround 12V. The curve form is not 
critical, it does not need to be a clear sine wave. However the 
frequency should be as stable as possible.
 So, what is the best oscillator circuit? Are there strong differences 
regarding stability or is it always a question of the temperature? Ah, 
it must be a LC oscillator. The adjusting part is a variable C of 33pF 
with a 6mm axis.
 There are a lot of circuits in the web but maybe one principe is to be 
preferred..
