Re: the cause for the spurs, found!
Allison, for -6dBm output level? also means the current in the amp needs to be increased also for better liniarity.

Re: Poor mans spectrum analyzer

I don't know the circuit of the hackRF, but I wouldn't use any antenna
connected to the SDR. You could fry its frontend unless it has some
protection (I.e. Back to back diodes) at the antenna input.

Harmonics of the HP8640b are of the order of -50dB at output of the gen upto ~+10dbm..

Re: the cause for the spurs, found!
Great you found the likely cause of the 2IF spur.
Now why is the 45mhz IF distorting?
Two things, it needs to be clean to at least -6 or so DBM and how much gain is needed to
get to that from the

Re: Si5351 correction question
Should read:
"In the si5351bx routines as I wrote them, you simply adjust the value of si5351bx_vcoa"
That's how I do it in my own code.
But in the example code scrap of post 54501, I hacked it to

Somebody asking a non *Bitx* question here should give a full description

This applies to pretty much all si5351 builds, so may actually be pertinent to the forum.
The 25mhz crystals typically available are tuned on the assumption that there will be maybe

Re: Si5351 correction question
I looked at your project and see you're using the adafruit si5351 board. There was an issue some time ago and recalling from a hazy memory it had something to do with crystal loading and the si5351

Poor mans spectrum analyzer

I have no sophisticated bench test gear so I used my hackRF and the free Spectrum Analyzer software to 'look' at what my uBitx was transmitting whilst on FT8 on 7.074MHz and the result is quite

Re: Si5351 correction question
The etherkit library is totally different than the si5351bx routines used on the uBitx.
So my discussion of the correction factor may or may not pertain.
Good luck.

Re: Si5351 correction question
Hi Bill.
True at the moment. I'm actually using a Mega2560 to control the Si5351 board with
a 3.5" TFT LCD interface. The software is based on the VU2SPF and VE1BWV sketch,
with the appropriate

Hi Jerry.
I have not as well, but I wanted to check to see if my symptoms jogged anyone's

I'm not sure if it is; I haven't actually checked. The sketch I'm using to test

Unless you are using different firmware or there is an error in the firmware,
that sounds like the 25mhz
