Re: Bitx40 SI5351 drive strength
I checked the drive at the DDS input and found it to be 1vpp.
(from internal VCO)
I did this because I plan to add a DDS also and have a few. I have 2 of the N3ZI ver.1 DDS
and 2 homebrew Uno>9850.

Note about using si5351
Just a reminder to those using the si5351. Turn OFF unused outputs. They will default to a frequency and as in my case cause 'sproggies' across the bands.
You can check using a scope etc. to check

Re: bitx40 update
So does this mean the Bitx40 board that just arrived is now out of date? What has been updated, is there an update for existing boards or do I buy another Bitx40?

Re: Bitx40 review (video)
Haven't tried this but it should be possible to use L4 (taking off a few turns?) as the inductor in the LPF, so not wasting any parts. It could even possibly be done on the board, with a capacitor

Re: Bitx40 review (video)
Peter,
I didn't need to remove C91 on my BitX40 board, only L4 and it works perfect with a Si5351 and a Arduino, however i too was getting harmonics from the Si5351, so I added a LPF between it and

Re: Bitx40 review (video)
Adding a DDS isn't all plain sailing.
I got a horrible whine that was coupled into the BitX via the power supply rail. I needed to add some caps and big RF choke to provide isolation. That removed

Re: Bitx40 review (video)
Peter, in the video you mention removing a cap in addition to the toroid from the VFO circuit when converting to a DDS VFO. Which cap did you decide to remove (I assume it would be C91)?
