VFO for the HW-18-3 160M Monobander?

[Gerald C. Lemay]

I seem to remember Heathkit suggesting an external VFO for those
monobanders. I'd have to look in my old catalogs but it seems they mentioned
the SB-640.

Hello,
Name here is Joe and I'm looking for information from anyone who ever used a
VFO with the HW-18-3 160 meter monobander. It uses 5 MHZ crystals and would
prefer to do a modification (w/o destroying originality and front panel) to
make it frequency agile. If anyone has a scheme how well did it drive the
oscillator?
Anyone ever use a external VFO with any success in this radio?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
