Where is the sawtooth coming from?

My first guess was some sort of beat between the Oncore crystal and GPS, but 
that would probably be temperature dependent and hence unlikely to show up as 
a specific frequency.

Is it something deliberate?  Maybe it's trying to avoid the dead zone in a 
phase detector?
