[amsat-bb] UEK-3000 frequency stability?

["Alan P. Biddle" <APBIDDLE@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have been using a UEK-3000 with great success, but have been wondering
about the frequency stability with temperature changes.  While the data are
a bit noisy, I find a shift in conversion frequency of about 200-300
Hz/degree C.  Considering the location at the antenna, this doesn't seem
unreasonable for a relatively low cost design, but I was wondering if this
is typical?  It doesn't matter much for short term operations, but it is a
minor factor in fully automated data acquisition.
