Thank you for your input,
I will look at Reeds display. My problem is that the stock units frequency readout is so small and tuning is buggy it skips between 100 and 300khz unless one tunes very. very slowly in the fine tune mode. I already got rid of the original case, its too small to add more of the features I am envision to install. The original case will be modified into a signal generator lol. I bought the whole kit because it was available in the US with 2 day shipping from Giga Parts for~ the same price as from India.
