[NJARC] Programmable Crystal Oscillators

[Al Klase]

Guys,

Ground-to-frequency quartz crystals, like the ones you might want for 
6-meter AM, etc., have become expensive and hard to procure.  The modern 
solution is field-programmable oscillator modules that contain a crystal 
and a frequency synthesizer.  These typically cover 1-100+ MHz in 1KHz 
steps and cost way less than 10 bucks in small quantities.  The catch is 
that they require a $500 programming box.

Do any of you work with these professionally, and have access to a 
programmer?
