[hpsdr] Horton LO

[Alex]

Well we're looking at the LO design by UR3IQO, so does that qualify?

I like this approach.  Potential for Orion-like phase noise.  Years ago I 
bought a SoftWave DSP radio at Dayton, maybe the first PC plug in DSP radio. 
It used the fine tuning at DSP level approach.  Unfortunately that company 
folded and all info went away.  It had good software, written in one of the 
former Iron Curtain countries, including a great data base.
