Re: Si4735
Interesting idea. You might want to look at the Si4732. Essentially the same but easier to solder. I used the si4732 in my first from scratch build after building the ubitx. You can see it here:

Re: sBITX
Those are third overtone crystals. That makes them unsuitable for a 40 MHz

Re: uBitx V6 - Transmit logic in firmware
QRSS comes the closest of no side bands. It is pure 1 frequency switching on and off or changing up or down by 5Hz every 3-6 seconds.

Re: uBitx V6 - Transmit logic in firmware
Nitin,
Your first two points above are the design of the radio.? There is not a limit on frequency for transmission.? That is up to the Ham running the rig.
As to point 3, you are correct in that
