[Elecraft] DDS-VFO Maybe off Topic

[Larry Phipps]

Check out amqrp, njqrp, norcal and KD1JV's websites. Keep in mind that 
receiver performance will probably suffer with a DDS VFO though, 
compared with a good PTO.

KD1JV had a really neat 4-band rig called ATS-3, but he may be sold out 
on the current run. Most of these are project kits, and are done in runs 
of 100 or so. Once sold out, you have to wait for the next run, or find 
an unbuilt kit.

All the DDS kits are heavily SMD, so they are not Elecrafts when it 
comes to assembly.

Why has the DDS-VFO type of circuit caught on here?  I am looking for a kit or a project I could build for some Xtal control rigs I have rather than buy Xtals.  Seems to me that would a nice way to go.  I know that Flex Radio has done quite a bit of work with DDS and so has Elecraft.  I wonder if there is a market out there for DDS VFO technology and a crystal replacement....
