Neil,
Nice reports! TAG's frequency is based on a 10 MHz surplus Vectron
oscillator module that has a proportional oven. Picked it up for $50 at
a flea market a few years ago. Since the TAG exciter is in an unheated
building, that oven control is a big help. My setup at home isn't too
well calibrated right now, but TAG seems to be staying within 0.02 Hz of
185.000 kHz. I get some temperature swings in the cellar at home this
time of year, and the Icom R75 that monitors TAG does wander a bit.
Anyway, thanks for the reports.
