I am creating the PCB myself, it it not a pre-designed one, I am just at the initial stage of re-working my original through hole design in to a surface mount one and so am removing the VFO and BFO circuitry.
I will look up the board you mentioned and see how the DDS input is implemented there - this should give a me a good idea of what components I need to remove / leave in place on my PCB.
Thanks again for the help.
