Sorry but from my point of view it isn't worth that much additional cost for
that improvement. The stability of my Omni VI, and FT-1000D is more than
satisfactory for my use. Maybe an option where those who think they require
that additional stability??
Looking at the radios that I have owned in the past, SB-300, KWM-2, Swan 350
(!), HW-16, TenTec 544 etc. Frequency stability has improved with the newer
radios and I have no problems with the current frequency stability.

If we want real frequency stability, here is what is needed:

I wonder if TT would be willing to order a few of these custom since a
volume purchase would be needed, and offer them as an option on new units
and a mod to existing units? It would require a simple board to solder to
the existing circuit board, but there is plenty of room to accommodate it.
They could also add a trim pot on the board to fine calibrate if the 'EFC'
version is used. Imagine having frequency stability and accuracy to one
part per 10 million and 10 dB better phase noise, too!
I'd pay $200-$300 for that, which would build in a fair profit for TT if
more than a couple dozen were sold.
