I swept the input from 1 to 100 MHz. They lock at 38.4 MHz in. Yes they are
4-5 kHz off when free running. Locked they are right on frequency.

They don't spec the phase noise when locked. I hope it is decent. The phase
noise when unlocked is pretty good. I can only measure the phase noise
indirectly by driving my Perseus clock with this and comparing phase noise
measurements when using the internal clock. I may wind up using the
internal clock when measuring phase noise and this when measuring Allan
Deviation.

Thanks for the suggestions.
