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

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So does this mean the Bitx40 board that just arrived is now out of date?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)
