To keep this message on topic, let me say that the Heathkit VF-1 is probably
more stable than the T-150 internal VFO. I should probably temper my
comments by saying that there are some mods out there to stabilize the
T-150. That is stabilize it enough. As for the VF-1, I got surprisingly
better stability than I thought possible simply by removing the voltage
regulator stage away from inside the enclosure and relocating it in the
external power supply. The VFO runs cooler and is therefore more stable.
