Why would it be very hard? For his purpose it should easy enought to measure
the frequency shift which he would allow, and achieving the necessary shift in
temperature to get the ball-park aspect should not be too hard to acheive in a
home enviorment and a thermometer.

I am sure the E1938A would pull it off.

Talking about E1938A. Where can I find one???
