We use an AD9850 and it's been used as a straight VFO 160-10M in the Arduino Projects book, so I think it would work fine.
What I suggested does not involve any hardware at all. Simply a new state added to the already-exiting state machine. All it would take is a press on the rotary encoder switch to move to the Digital mode and another press to lock it in.?

Allard's solution makes it easier on the user, no need to switch in and out some BFO inductor when flipping between LSB and USB. But Allard's solution requires a VFO that can operate at either 5mhz or 19mhz. I have no idea if your DDS chip can send out a clean 19mhz, and no idea what kind of analog filter follows the DDS chip.

Changing the BFO frequency involves little more than changing the BFOFREQUENCY symbolic constant
