Hello Andy,
Thanks for that! Bearing in mind i am not the sharpest knife in this
drawer, would that perhaps explain why the U3S Si5351a output drives more
reliably at 3.3V than say the output of a doubler / pre amp (and I was never
happy about the pre amp output level being correct...), and perhaps
the output from the squarer also being more "reliable"? Would you be
able to sketch an interface design to try please? Thanks again, are we
getting somewhere? ;)
