Q10 is the xtal oscillator with L & C in series, to pull the xtal down a bit to suit LSB.
If you can generate a second frequency from the Si then you can remove Q10 and use Q11 to buffer it to the mixer.
In the meanwhile I'll stick to my analog VFO!

I was wondering more about what the purpose of Q10 and Q11 serve.
What I'm trying to do is take an output from SI5351 and replace the entire BFO circuit so I can easily switch between LSB and USB via software.
