Yes, but most people are reporting drift when using the KPA100. If they are
using batteries, they must be pretty large?

Huf-n-puf does not introduce phase noise. It is simply a counter which
decides whether to gently increase/decrease voltage across a varacter which
is in parallel with the LC cct of the VFO - in this case an xtal.
