Well, that I do not know. The majority of Ku & Ka LNBs for home TV use are using free running DRO's. I have a bunch of them, and never ran across any locked ones, except for some of the ones used for internet service. My real experience is what we use in military satcom terminals at Ku and Ka bands, with apertures from 0.6 to 9.2 meters, and they are all locked to an external 10 MHz reference. I doubt if you will see any major dumping of those. Especially now, because of strict ITAR. Even if one can buy it directly from the manufacturer, once the military has owned it, they will probably dispose of it in such a way that we will not see them on ebay. Regards - Mike
