Define "will not hold". The Glenn Digital VFO had no way of locking on to a frequency. It did not have a PLL (Phase Lock Loop). It was a simple VFO with a generic readout for frequency which was calibrated by a slug in the rear top corner. I have a few of them and they all "drift" like the Siltronix for about 1.5 hours..

Example It will go from 27.295-27.296 then down to 27.294. Is there a way to correct this. It will do this even after it is on for 24 hrs.

Garyo,I don't know what you can do ,but my friend's siltronix drifted 3-times that 24-7 and he loved it,the constant tuning,it was a quirk inherant in the machine.
