That's great! Only a factor of 1 million to go!!
The Tektronix generator is a horrible, horrible, monster and it should not be used as a VCO if at all possible. What's the loop gain for the CW and CCW loops? We need measurements. Also need to see the error point spectra of these loops out to high frequency. By looking at the error spectrum before and after a small increase in gain, one can infer the UGF.
Also, the 40m has one spare PDA255 which can be used to measure the beat frequency in transmission. Its in a plastic tub next to the RF stuff. Luckily Zach is working on a resonant RFPD and we can have something real very soon.
