Herbert, the board doesn't seem to be the same, the chips which are
visible don't line up with the ones in that picture. Anyway my curiosity
got the better of me and I dug through the foam some more to find a long
row of DIP switches. I bet i can change the divider ratio with some
combination of those:

Also, you can see that the chip is an AD9955 DDS chip:
