Well sir, I do thank you for the idea and I see your point.
But for me, with 4 kids to raise, here's the bottom line:

      "Complete VFO kits with displays available 
       for $145.00 plus $10.00 shipping"

Compare to the package I just got from Digikey:
The four frequencies I wanted, $4.10 each.
Total with shipping for the package:   $17.71

I just haywired one in.....
                    .... and...... (wait for it)......
 
                       .........................  IT WORKS!
                                 (fireworks fireworks)

More about it in a later post.
