I got my two that I ordered yesterday (took over a month on the free postage deal to UK).
Quickly lashed them up to the bench PSU and both locked within about 3 minutes. Both extremely close in frequency (not done any measurements yet), but happy with what I'm seeing so far, especially for the price I paid!

After that it locked within a few minutes. This is the one that draws 340 ma from 5 volts but is extremely stable. On 01/17/2012 08:31 PM, Scott Newell wrote: > Just got my 3 in from nichegeek.
