That’s a nicely done homebrew! I’m inspired to break out the parts box and soldering iron. I have nearly all the parts, even the vernier drive. But not the FB enclosure.
Nice job. In their design Wes and Roger had 3seperate boxes: VFO, transmitter and receiver. The VFO had feedthrough caps on the DC voltage line. This would greatly reduce the harmonics described by builder.
A seperate shielded VFO reduces microphonics . sorry poor English
