Re: Si5351a VFO boards.
Good to know. My mission is to see more ham projects using microcontrollers and this seems like a good fit.
Thanks!

Re: Si5351a VFO boards.
You're not missing anything, Jack. It is falling-off-a-log easy to change
the code from 25 or 27MHz. It's not an issue, other than being aware of it.
NT7S's documentation makes it very

I'll build the 3.5-5 MHZ one and let you know.

Re: Bitx40 varactor tuning/tuning dial?
Ken,
I built the one on the top of the list as it covers 3.5 to 5MHz which is the exact frequency of the VFO coverage, although being A LPF it's going to filter everything above so may not make that

Re: Si5351a VFO boards.
Am I missing something or can't the software be changed to account for the difference? Our VFO has a timing constant in the code that is changed to account for variations in the 125MHz crystal on the

Si5351a VFO boards.
Hi all.
Just a word of warning/advice.
The Si5351 based VFO (clock) boards produced by Hans (QRP Labs) and Adafruit are not directly interchangeable for use within the many Arduino based VFO

Re: Bitx40 varactor tuning/tuning dial?

I built NT7S 5-8 MHZ filter and I don't hear any real difference. But the
signal into T2 is much prettier than the square wave. I'll do some more
testing later, not much can be done at 5:30 in

Re: Bitx40 varactor tuning/tuning dial?
Hans,
Sorry about the ugly square wave, you are right, we can't see it properly on a regular scope, but I was looking for a sine wave which I got after the LPF.
I don't know if we need a sine wave

Re: VFO Stabiliser
Hans,
Yes that's the one. Well, I guess I'll stick with the DDS VFO instead, easier in the long run. Thanks anyway.

Re: Bitx40 varactor tuning/tuning dial?
Hi Jerry
I'm not sure if you need a sinewave for the BITX40 - perhaps Farhan could comment on that. Many mixers work better with a squarewave drive. But I am not sure about the BITX40.

Re: Band segment
My BITX40 is #465. It came wrapped in what looks like an ex-candybox. But it was well-packed and survived the journey well.
I had the same problem as you. The initial VFO coverage was ~4870 Khz -

Re: Bitx40 varactor tuning/tuning dial?
Jack, I have your DDS VFO kit connected to my BitX 40 at the DDS jack and it is definitely tuning the radio.
Two questions:
1) I understand the VFO needs to output between 4.7-5.0MHz to tune

Re: Band segment
The trimmer cap in the VFO can be moved around to change the frequency coverage. Mine is currently adjusted to where I start out around 7.1mhz and have 7.2 right in the middle. I haven't compared it
