All I have done is box the device with a suitable voltage regulator and a power switch & indicator:

So, as a bit of a sanity check, I tried zero beating the signal from this oscillator with my Yaesu rig:

that all looked pretty damn good to me.

So all that remained to be done was to calibrate the frequency counter:

What do you recon? Good egh?
