Tu for the comment. Most of the knowledge was other people’s knowledge! It is great how generous hams are!! 73 mate.

Thanks…. It was a fun build…. Now gonna ugly build it and start using it in something… tnks fer the reply -73 de VK2AOE.

Thanks for the comment! Yes I love the TS520 too. Thanks for sharing your tech exploration 73 de VK2AOE.

Yes…. Twas very helpful for the build. Tnx fer the comment 73 de VK2AOE

Yes....I love the retro aspect to it. I'm probably going to use it on my OZ QRP 20m SSB/CW kit build as the DDS VFO. Thanks for the kind comment 73 de VK2AOE

@@TheArtofEngineering That sounds like a fun project! I'm contemplating using it on my Heathkit SB-102. The plastic scale is broken and I thought it might be nice to have a digital display to replace it.

One day I might just learn to kicad design and do it! It did take some head scratching to get going…. and what was left of my hair! 😂😂 73 de VK2AOE

Thanks for the comment and link to the project! Also thanks for the sub (ditto). We live in grand times of HOMEBREW… more people should be doing it. 73 de VK2AOE.

It is shared. You need to watch the whole video. Then visit the video links in the description below this video.

Yes …. Correct. But I’m an AMATEUR radio operator not an RF engineer. So it is Digital Synthesis (as the RF is produced by digital means) but NOT DIRECT Digital Synthesis. It is my understanding that DDS only allows a change of frequency if the reference clock is changed …. So this might be why amateur projects don’t use it (too complex?). Why would you use a true DDS for a simple CW transceiver if a PLL derived signal suffices? By the way no offence taken, this type of comment is how we all learn about this hobby we ALL love together: if you do find a DDS (or design one) drop me a line. 73 de VK2AOE

@@TheArtofEngineering "..but I'm an AMATEUR radio operator not an RF engineer.." running a KZfaq channel labelled "The Art of Engineering" ? whatever, its only KZfaq. Your description of DDS is totally wrong, Google will sort you out there. There are a number of REAL DDS VFO and sig gens kits and projects already out there, created by amateurs, most seem to use the AD9850 chip, and no they are not really anymore complicated than this circuit. 73 de G0AFV

@@bazzaar1869 I have a Radiocommunications Engineering Certificate… Fine Art Degree and I’m part way through (18 months) of a Mechatronics Degree. Hence the channel title. As for KZfaq “sorting me out” …. I do this for enjoyment…. But the channel does grow up to 100 subs per month, so some hams are enjoying the content. 73 OM.

G0AFV is right... This is NOT DDS... Little details are important, and this video is not being presented as "entertainment"... I only stopped to watch this myself because I suspected the title was wrong... and sure enough.. it was. Otherwise it's a pretty good video but people like me are always looking for dumb little mistakes like this to form an opinion about how reliable the information really is... Careless neglect of details like this make me wonder what else is wrong in the video... maybe ask a "technical" friend to review it before posting it on YT. There's already enough "noise" out there, don't make it worse... please.

@@bobsimmons5274I agree Bob but also disagree. I could show any video to several “technical” friends and they would disagree across a wide variety of aspects of any given video, hence leaving this comment section OPEN to express disdain, or point out errors. As for the misuse of this term, that genie has left it’s bottle and is now on a worldwide vacation! Have a look on the net …. If you want to buy or read about this “NOT a DDS VFO but PLL derived digital VFO “ …. the vast majority of products and articles and videos are titled “DDS”. Be it YT, Ali Express, Evil Bay…. etc etc etc. Language, even technical language changes over time due to semantic drift (sometimes towards more precise and correct meaning, often away from it). The tribe have spoken and no amount of zeal will change this fact. YT is a forum that provides YOU the opportunity to share stuff. You could make a video pointing out your disdain of the current practice of misnaming this VFO? I’m thinking about doing one now 😂. Thanks for the comment, I will change the title, in the name of technical precision and YES, I will make a video to confess my technical incompetence. 73 OM de VK2AOE.

Thanks for the feedback. The vast majority of my subscribers are in their 50's and like to yabber like me 🤣. I make them longer than the "recommended" 10 mins for anybody who wants to watch the whole thing.(in this case 17% of viewers). You can double the playspeed or fast forward for the juicy bits. 73 de VK2AOE

​@@TheArtofEngineeringThat's right! I'm not in my 50's yet, but I've learned a lot from listening to people jibber 😅
