Yes it is.   All freqs derived from the master OSC input with
dedicated PLLs.   BFO can be tuned in 10Hz steps  +/- 8000Hz.    Some
RA1792 radios have 1Hz RF tuning steps (not mine), but don't know if
the BFO does likewise on those models.

Can't lock the SDR-IQ yet as it needs a 66.66666MHz clock and haven't
yet got round to making a locked clock source for it.   Easiest
solution may be an Si570 device - need to investigate.
