I'm also interested in locking a transmitter frequency to stable reference.
The ICOM FR-6000 repeater which I use has a TI LMX2352 PLL which relies on a 15.3 MHz Crystal Resonator, CR-826 type.

It appears that I might be able to replace the crystal with a reflock board (Link below), with the reflock generating the 15.3 MHz.

Here is an example of a ham reflock'ing a yaesu 817 all-mode radio to a 10 MHz reference input

The 10 MHz reference signal can be from a Rubidium Oscillator or from GPS Disciplined Oscillator, both of which are available from eBay.
The Trimble Thunderbolt is a common GPSDO. Some good general info is on John's web site: http://www.ke5fx.com/tbolt.htm

Hey guys, Happy New Year!

Looking for ideas to cleanly phase lock a MAXTRAC. I have the boards, I have an idea on how I want to do it. Just would like input from those who already have done it. I looked online for some info but found nothing.

I can break the ref osc tune line and take that signal out. I can pick off the 14.4 mhz and bring that out, but I want to do it cleanly, not a hatchet job.

Anyone have pics?
