Terry, WB4JFI #SDR WORK --- +##CHARLESTON SDR RECEIVER #1 ##NEW MASTER OSCILLATOR FIXES PHASE NOISE (JAN.2011) I replaced the original program-once 76.8MHz master oscillator with a custom Silicon Laboratories SI570, programmed for 76.8MHz. The new oscillator dramatically reduced the phase-noise related artifacts when stronger signals hit the Charleston Receiver board. This SI570 can be ordered directly from SI Labs, at a cost of about $13 each, but I recommend group buys. The SI Labs part number is: 570CAC000729DG. In order to have access to the extra I2C program pins (not absolutely required), I placed my SI570 on top of four zero-ohm SMT resistors, that act as spacers between the board and the SI570 itself.
