These have a bit more delta freq. using a capacitor vs. varactor diode. I bought some a few weeks ago for a (currently unfinished) DSB rig.<br />73 Walt/K3ASWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-54667179507437920432017-08-24T13:56:27.258-04:002017-08-24T13:56:27.258-04:00Of course, it probably wouldn't work because t...Of course, it probably wouldn't work because there would only be 256 tuning combinations....not very continuous..Dean Hutsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260552243644677915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-13284011013556447342017-08-24T11:52:10.967-04:002017-08-24T11:52:10.967-04:00Bill, you're not suggesting us Si5351 fan boys...Bill, you're not suggesting us Si5351 fan boys use a VXO? Almost sounds like sacrilege. Oh, alright, maybe we could try something a little more analog like...Hey Pete, how about using PWM on an Arduino to generate an analog voltage to tune a VXO. We might be able to get precise tuning steps and some kind of feedback to keep the frequency stable. We could still claim that it is analog tuned!!!<br /><br />73's<br /><br />Dean AC9JQ Dean Hutsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260552243644677915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-2012771555684436852017-08-24T11:30:02.467-04:002017-08-24T11:30:02.467-04:00Arrow.com has 7.200MHz and 7.159MHz ceramic resona...Arrow.com has 7.200MHz and 7.159MHz ceramic resonators too!
