I am nearing completion of my 20V-3 for 75M and was wondering what VFO's are available that easily interface with the 20V-3.

The 1.5-3.0 mHz PTO unit from a T-195 or T-368 would work. I use a modified T-368 PTO/exciter unit as an all- band VFO unit. With the bare PTO, you will need to mechanically mount it in something and provide a power supply. Just be careful not to run the unit all way to the end of the tuning range. With any of the Collins-type PTO's, if you run it all way to the end, far enough to feel mechanical resistance at the shaft, you have already permanently damaged the internal tuning mechanism.
