I bought one awhile back from a company called NooElec as more of a novelty item than anything. But I can say it runs quite hot and if you tune to the 3rd harmonic of a 10 MHz reference it takes a while to thermally stabilize. In hindsight spending the extra 3-4 dollars for one with a TCXO would have been worthwhile.
