Hello Steve, that is the approach that a lot of us are using. by building it on boards one block at a time, it seems to make trouble shooting and testing of sections much easier. Good luck on your

sBitx PA blow - A fix
The PA blow out is happening due to the power amplifier going into self-oscillations when it goes from transmit back to receive. We think there is a fix for this that involves making a cut in the PCB

Re: Daylight Radio: Crystals?
Mark, It might be better to move to 4.915 MHz to avoid the WWV breakthrough. Almost any crystal in HC/49U will do. It is best to measure the motional parameters not required. - f

Re: sbitx spectrum
In my development version you can drag the center of the display in the frequency area below the spectrum display. To try it: cd /home/pi git clone https://github.com/k3ng/sbitx-k3ng.git cd sbitx-k3ng
