Re: LF: Softrock RX divider IC problem, unexpected frequency out

Hello Andy,

That's good to know and the lead lengths are a bit (possibly a lot...)
excessive, so grounds are scattered. I have a few DIP dividers to play
with on the breadboard so I don't scrap another PCB getting it to
perfection. Thanks, divider next then hopefully it will all be OK when
it's built up properly! The MF one does a very good job for what it cost.
