The 68 kHz spacing indicates that the source isn't the PLL as it's phase detector operates at 125 kHz. The switching regulator on the CAN-Do module should be the only device that changes frequency with input voltage.

Folks,
I've bypassed U17, the 10 volt step-down converter, in an effort to isolate the cause of the spurs in the IF output. I've also started a new log. You can jump there by clicking here, or go to the AMSAT 70 cm receiver page and click on Spur Troubleshooting under Project Status.
