Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Farhan, What you say sounds right. There's a reason why people have moved away from analog VFO's, they are finicky. The Si5351 is not necessarily the best choice, just the cheapest and easiest, so it

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Jerry, Contrary to a popular opinion, a free running LC oscillator can be the quietest there is. Any attempt that holding it to a frequency (phase locked loop) starts adding to the phase or amplitude

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Farhan, What do you think is the major factor in the relatively poor performance of the Si5351? I suspect it is jitter, not the fact that it is a square wave. The Si5351 is their cheapest part at $1,

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Ashar, I agree that a analog vfo would be superior but I have not had much luck building one that was stable enough. That was the reason I chose to use the 5351 or my PLL. Any chance you would share

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Barry, I too built a direct conversion transceiver a few months ago. I chose a fully analog design without any ICs. A carefully designed free running vfo is used. It is so stable that I can

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Hi fellow DC rx fans. Back in 1992, Rick Campbell had a design in QST for a direct conversion receiver he called the R1. Later he upgraded this to the R2. I have the R1 that I have used the si5351 to

Thanks Evan for the help. I had been searching the CEC sketch instead. My TXR already uses a 2X16 display and I was hoping to upgrade to the Nextion. My TXR uses 2 swithced? 2nd IF oscillators for

Gerard, I went back and looked again.? I believe that F5NPV is also using the standalone signal analyzer option from KD8CEC.? That is a second Nano connected via the I2C lines to provide the "small

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
Would be interesting to try sine wave vs square wave. But I doubt you will notice much difference, Assuming you have a low pass (or band pass) filter on the RF input, the harmonics in a square wave

Re: Follow-up Antuino question
