SB-102 LMO Question

I can't speak for the SB-102 LMO but the LMO in my SB-301 drifts about 300Hz
during warm-up (~30 min) while the VFO in my HW-101 drifts 2-3 KHz under the
same conditions.

They are not in anyway mechanically interchangeable, if that's what you are
thinking. For one the dial mechanism on the HW-101 is just two Jackson
drives in series whereas the SB-LMOs include a complicated 20:1 gear train
internally plus an involved turns-counting dial.
