First ensure that doing this doesnt overstress the output amplifier cascade.
Then the two oscillators will need to be tuned so that they are very
close in frequency before injection locking can occur.
The higher the reverse isolation of the output amplifier and the higher
the crystal Q the closer the 2 oscillator frequencies will have to be.
The maximum frequency difference tolerable for injection locking to
occur can be estimated from Adlers equation.
