[time-nuts] Resistors in VCO

[Tom Knox]

Hi everyone, some VC oscillators I have played with keep trimmer resistor in circuit to adjust the EFC close enough for the PLL to work. I was wondering if changing to more stable resistors could improve ADEV and P/N performance.  Also could this add stability if used to divide the loop voltage. It seems foil resistors are exceptional in many ways. Do most high end oscillators already use foil?
On a unrelated but far more important thought, Make sure you remember to do something nice for that special women or man in your life today. The life you save may be your own.
