Bruce, Buy an HP 3586 on eBay (I paid $90 for my HP 3586A with OCXO), lock its reference to the GPSDO, set it to 32 MHz and use the LO output. All you need is a sturdy shelf (!!!) and a couple of cables. No soldering iron required, no PIC programming or anything else :-)
Maybe not the most elegant, but you could find all sorts of things to do with an HP 3586... That will work with all sorts of non-standard Xtal oscillators in the 400 Hz to 32 MHz range, with 0.1 Hz resolution and pretty darn good phase noise. PS: I have a number of synthesized ham transceivers here, and they all have funky reference oscillators...
