[time-nuts] Locking gunn diode : Dividers

>Bizarre that no prescalers have been developed to work
on the 3-5 GHz band...

Well at www.hittite.com you will find many low priced 
prescalers for 3-5 Ghz  like HMC251 (3-6,5) and HMC432 (DC-8)
HMC363 (DC-12) and HMC365 (DC-13).

They all are in the $10....$15 range

They also have 10GHz VCO so that you easily can built a
locked 10GHz source. Just add an Analog devices PLL and a PIC and thats it.

I can provide more info if needed (phase noise etc...)
