[MAMS] PLL

[Zack Widup]

Looks like a good deal you got!

I might be able to go to the hill on Saturday or Sunday morning. It
would be a "warm-up exercise" for the January contest in a few weeks.
:-)

If you want to give 3456 a try this weekend, let me know.

I'm trying to get some version of a 24 GHz transverter going right now.

73, Zack
