Re: question about PLL
Pin 10 on MC1648 must have capacitor to ground, you have not it on last schematics.
If I understand, when you apply 2V DC to varicaps the output frequency is varying for 7MHz. If so varicap voltage varies for about 20mV. The reason can be noise on power supply or simply hum voltage induced on varicaps. Try to applay DC voltage trough 1uH inductor instead of 100kohm resistor.
