Hi Dan, what I use to check if an oscillator is working and on the right frequency is a small AM/FM SW portable digital radio with a signal strength indicator. That way you can tune the radio your working on to say 2.0 MHz and see if you pick it up on 2.46 MHz, which is 460 KHz IF frequency + the 2.0 MHz the radio in question is tuned to. It’s a handy diagnostic use I found for that portable besides just using it for entertainment. It can save you from tearing into your oscillator needlessly.
