Hi Group,
After last meeting I ordered off a few of the Si5351A boards from Adafruit.
Each one has ckts so you can attach either 3.3 or 5V logic to it. 3 programmable outputs that run from 8 KHz to 160 MHz. These are square wave
clock signals. Ideal for mixers/converters ect.They have arrived and are nice looking small little boards about the size of a stamp. Several of the group said they were interested in a board or two... so I bought 10 to get the small price break. Now, who was interested? With shipping from Adafruit, I would like $8.00 for a board.

There is a library this board for the Ardruino microcontrolers on the web site and there is another group that has made some boards up who have some code available which is more customized to using the chip for VFOs with RIT/XIT type stuff..
I got a few of the edge launched SMA connectors to go with the boards, so if you want to
put one on your board, it would make a nice way to be able to quickly
attach or remove the board from your circuits.. These were $2.50 each.
I will not be at the next HBqrp meeting, but I am planning on being there in March. I can get the boards to who ever wanted them then, or we can work
something out if you want to get to playing with them sooner.
Please let me know if you want some now, as its first come first served until I run out..
