the list might enjoy poking around the web site of the designer of<br>
that oscillator circuit, which doesn't seem to be too well known. I<br>
found it recently after reading a post somewhere by Ian Fritz which<br>
referred to "Henry's frequency shifter" -- a little googling turned up<br>
this site. (Thanks Ian for the pointer!)<br>

Section 2.2 of this page<br>

describes the TZQVCO and includes a slightly more readable schematic.<br>
And there are some other interesting things on the other pages.<br>
