The loop filter does have a very low bandwidth, of the order you mentioned.
The lock time is surprisingly quick, but one man's pocket change may be another man's fortune.... I use a lag-lead filter with the PC2 comparator. It begins to 'track' after a minute or so. >From a cold start there is one large overshoot with the VCO frequency starting >too low and then going high.

It does take 10 or 15 minutes for it to settle to where the jitter is down into the 5th or 6th digit on my frequency counter though. Scott On Tuesday, March 21, 2017 12:14:15 PM EDT M.
