Re: [linrad] Low phase noise LO

[Edson Pereira <edson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kohjin,

I intend to use mainly 14 and 28 MHz. I am thinking of using a pair of 
christals for 17.070 and 28.120 MHz (psk31) but it would be usefull if I 
could use a DDS. I have played with the K7HFD Low-Noise Oscillator a while 
ago, but because of the high power, it drifts a lot with temperature. The 
low noise makes the receiver very quiet.
