The FTS 1050A sounds like a very nice toy. I agree with one of the other suggestions - use the device as a reference for a DDS generator, so you can have any frequency you like, with high stability.
Many of the newer DDS chips have excellent performance, and in addition include a clock multiplier. I have an AD9852 kit, and it can multiply by up to 20, so would give ~120MHz as the reference from your FTS1050A, and then have useful output to 30MHz. The synthesizer is 48 bit, so the steps are very small. I use mine with an odd-frequency FEI Rubidium source (about 60MHz) and the results are very good - any frequency I want with microHz resolution.
