just a proof - it locked for a couple seconds. The osc seems very sensitive to the environment, but not so much to the tuning control. I can monitor both GPS 10MHz and my OCXO and can see it is close to lock, looks stable for minutes, but then starts to drift. Tune voltage is typically stable around 2.2V, then the osc does not seem to respond quickly when it starts to bounce around 300mV swings, but the frequency can adjust high to low... I probably have bad components - the two "caps" make 1nF, but I'm not sure what kind they are - and everything on long leads hanging out in the air.
I have a better oscillator, but then I'd need all the voltages, 12, 5, 3.3... It'w worth it to build it up right in an enclosure.
What's the batch file line (switches) so LadyHeather sees it? It did not recognize it.
