Hi

need a low-noise xtal oscillator using 14.7 or 15.7MHz rubber xtals in
series mode circuit to sweep xtal filters with good as possible noise
distance. The available xtals are believed to pull +/-10kHz or more.

Any suggestions.



Use a DDS hooked up to your PC's parallel port?

A DDS isn't going to have good enough phase noise. The OP is correct in
using a pullable crystal oscillator.
