My parts came today. I tried my design, and it locks solid on the
right frequency finally. The new loop filter is awesome. Kudos to
Helmut for his damped loop filter. Also, my NE555 debounce circuit
fixed the frequency error problem. Yaaaah!

@Jan I will be trying your design next and see how it compares to mine
in lock time.

Thanks All
