K2 Phase Noise

[R March]

Has anyone come up with a mod that reduces phase noise on the K2?  Thanks,
Bob

Er, ah, I wasn't aware the K2 made any objectionable noise. What's your
specific issue?

Bob;
I have a mod that will reduce the K2 phase noise.  The implementation of the
mod is not easy.   Some of the changes require the ability to measure phase
noise, and most folks don't have this capability.  The mod can also degrade
the PLL stability.  Therefore, I do not plan on publishing the mod.

My work on K2 phase noise has convinced me that the design is pretty close
to the best performance that you can get on this type of oscillator design.
