Do you have part numbers? Just curious.

When I've thought about that, the hard part seems to be the D/A to drive the
oscillator. There is a tangled tradeoff between resolution and range. You
can get better resolution if you are willing to sacrifice range. That might
be acceptable for DIY. It means you will have to fiddle/adjust occasionally
as your crystal ages. The high parts of the D/A process become manual.
