Re: a simple spur fix
Take an existing raduino and disable the si5351. Bring the i2c lines off to an external si5351 board, like the adafruit. Put the buffers on that board. Get the display and nano away from the si5351.

Re: a simple spur fix
I remember a relatively simple fix using a 45 MHz crystal across 2 points with a ground on the center wire. Has anyone done this? ?What were the connection points? ?Thanks. Steve. KE7GO

Re: Bitx40 Raduino question
Tim, Look at the usb connector on the Nano. On mine one of the prongs was bent back and prevented the plug from fully seating. I used a dental pick and just worried the bent prong Long enuff till it

Re: a simple spur fix
Farhan reports that his coil and cap have a null 10dB better than needed to meet regs, no need for higher Q. If the 90mhz trap can be done with a surface mount coil and cap on the back of the board,

Re: a simple spur fix
I have no doubt Farhan solution might work but I guess that the Q of the 90Mhz and the null could be higher using a quarter wave open coax stub cut for the 90Mhz (likely a cap between 20 and 30pf in

Re: Bitx40 Raduino question
Thanks Sarma, I tried as you suggested and still it is as no device is connected.? I think the connector must be bad.? This board will not show up at all under the device manager when two other

Re: a simple spur fix
Farhan's 90mhz filter is clearly meant to take out the 2'd harmonic of the 45mhz IF signal. It's perhaps 90mhz and not the calculated 91mhz due to some capacitance in the node it connects to. May need

Re: Bitx40 Raduino question
To me, it sounds like you don't have the correct device driver installed. I think you need the CH340 device driver installed. Go to this site: https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html and follow the

Re: Bitx40 Raduino question
If device manage is recognizing ch340, you can try to load firmware if you had the procedure practiced once atleast. It might call for a calibration. why not try calibration with some known time

This might be an opportunity for somebody to create yet another new Raduino Add buffer amps to all three clocks from the si5351 to help solve the spur problem. Choose a processor clock that won't beat
