Re: DDS VFO!

Arduinos can count to 6.4MHz so Digital
dial for a NC-40 is a piece of cake.
Resolution to the Hz, accuracy depends on
calibration and temp/voltage variation.
You COULD GPS discipline it for real
accuracy.

How about digital tuning accuracy?

I have several GOOD HF receivers with analog tuning and they do not have precision readouts. Only good to about 25KHz.

There was a digital display for the NorCal Sierra. But I have only seen pictures of it. You could make one of those with ATmega328 and a LCD.

And...
Though I don't see the need to add a DDS VFO to a NC-40, my own NC-40 does have an Arduino add-on.

It functions as:
? AFA? audio frequency annunciator (in CW)
? Iambic keyer
? Keyboard CW sender
? CW decoder (displays on computer through USB)
