Re: Testing QRP Labs Si5351A Synthesiser Module, PCB Rev 4
Hello Joe The Si5351A chip has three stages conceptually: 1) Multiply the 27MHz reference crystal up to an internal VCO frequency, that theoretically must be in the range 600-900MHz 2) Divide down in

Re: QCX and electronic keying
The QCX keying requires a 3.5mm stereo bullet plug. For straight or bug semi auto keying connect to the tip and the body of the plug. Leave the second ring unconnected. And you'll be right!

It looks like Hans needed PC5 (normally used for SCL) for the IPPS interface to the GPS module. Maybe he can comment on why the hardware wiring ended up as it did. I am sure he had a very good reason
