My LPRO is 4 or 5 milli Hz high. I can't see any changes with temperature
and my setup swings through 15 F p-p during most days.
That's with the electrical tuning open and no adjustments to the mechanical
tuning.
I couldn't find any specs for the mechanical or electrical tuning range in
the data sheet. Has anybody measured it?
