Mark, You are on the right track. All you are trying to do is hack the code so the si5351 VFO mimics what the old analog VFO does. You could get a generic VFO, perhaps from QRP Labs, and ask it to tun

Mark, Though many of us do program Arduinos, some of us have forgotten details of Allard's code. It is best to contact him. Your project is very interesting. I would love to see the results. - f

Original #bitx20 VFO L7 advice

Many thanks Curt - as you say, going back to first principles provided the answer! I’m gonna try using the LC VFO as a first outing, but if I find it a struggle to operate may replace with a PLL. To d

Correction to my message above - low end VFO frequency is currently around 3.087MHz - missed a zero out on my original post - apologies!

Hi, What is the difference between the $95 and $65 versions? Also the 24v power terminal on the back - presume this only supplies the PA for higher power output? Is the 24v input regulated down to 12v
