[time-nuts] PLL performance?

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

As others have pointed out, a control loop at 100 seconds is more a gain spec than 
an R/C time constant spec. The real issue is that you should have an integrator on 
the loop and that *is* an R/C sort of thing. It’s also likely to have a much longer time
constant than the magic number for the loop.
