Hi Klaus and group
He doesn't seem to have taken MF on board as far as I can see. May
one of his rigs can be modified I have not checked my self.
He does mention the use of Si570 programable xtal. I have one on a
board with set frequencies from a PIC and selected by binary from a dil
switch. They will not operate as low as 500kc/s so they have to be
divided with either a CD4040 or CD4060 or any other logic divider. However it
gives stable selectable xtal frequencies. In this case it is
probably worth going the extra mile and make up a DSS as the master oscillator
which will give VFO coverage. I think your pays your money and takes you
choice as they say....... hee.
Cheers Klaus.
