Joe,
Looking at the app-sheet , there is a clock X 6 function , that
would put the 10 MHz up to 60 MHz , giving 100 :1 clock / out put
ratio ? this may be a PPL ?
Racal tended to use xtals , in there 'harmonic' generators ,
feeding a low freq sq wave , to a 2 stage xtal filter , xtals
ring in sync with the sq excitation , so phase locked as well ....
10 MHz square wave to ... what .. say couple of high freq [cheap]
xtals = stable / clean HF clock ?
The holy grail would be some sort of 'pic' device that loaded the DDS
on power on , with a pre-set frequency , then you have a real xtal
replacement .. just needs to be fed its command word by something ?

Hi Markus,
but was toying with the idea of doing WSPR via the RS232 and AD09850...
an excellent idea!
On the other hand, having just looked at the DF6NM code for the dds and
WSPR and being most impressed by same, perhaps I should focus instead on
seeking stability and coherence.
The plan is to multiply a 10 MHz OXCO by three and feed it to an AD9851.
Could this be done with the gates of a TTL 7400 to take the sine to
a nice rich square then to a 30 MHz tuned circuit to an output gate to the
dds? Perhaps this is a silly idea. Either way, comments both
negative and favourable will be appreciated.
VX9MRC is still doing CW on 504.1 kHz. The carrier was generated by a
home brewed ad9850 with tiny connecting wires painstakingly soldered
to the pins. The boards Markus mentioned and Graham recommended a
while back are well worth their cost!
