Hello Dave,
The problem I experienced with a Rb at 10 MHz stabilizing a AD6IW PLL at
106.5 MHz
for a DB6NT 10 GHz G2 transverter,
was the significant microphonics after multiplication.
The original xtal oscillator did not have microphonics, but would drift.
My solution was to add a ISO-Temp 10 MHz OCXO as a reference to the PLL.
This provided me with the frequency accuracy and stability
needed for a weekend of microwave contesting, USB/CW
My 10 GHz operation is portable and I rove.

I'm possibly looking for a 40 MHz source and I know some of the
rubidiums are programmable. But can any of the affordable ones be
programmed to work at 40.0 MHz?
I was looking for a source to drive this 144 MHz -> 10 GHz transceiver.

The TCXO oscillator is off the board and a separate item, but costs
£40 and then one ideally wants to lock that to a more precise source.
The oscillator will lock to an external 10 MHz source, but then one
needs to buy both a 10 MHz rubidium as well as this 40 MHz TCXO. Hence
I was wondering if there was a cheaper more compact solution, which
just used a rubidium, and dispensed with a TCXO.
