It's pretty obvious these VHF FM adapters must be using a simple tunable
LC oscillator to generate the frequency. I could understand that twenty
years ago but today a crystal based PLL synthesiser costs maybe a coupla
dollars more, and would give a frequency as stable as the receiver. You
could tune you radio to find a clear frequency say 105.7 then simply set
the xmtr to 105.7 on it's display. Why don't they do it that way?
