[Boatanchors] Solid state VFO - DX100?

[Peter Markavage]

Just reviewed the article index in FBTO for the 73 article and could find
no mention of it. Having owned and used my original Apache that I built
in 59, I have never found it to have a mechanical instability problem.
The VFO mounting sub assembly to the chassis, the original panel mounting
and bracing, and the anti-backlash gears on the VFO tuning, seem to
provide an excellent and stable design.
