[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 967707, member: 325666"] So ..its late and I'm knackered .. This has really hurt my eyes ... But hung the tiny 3mm TCXO chip with fine wires on stripboard ...and located a 3v supply on the SDRplay pcb ... grounded the so called AFC pin of the osc chip ...and cap coupled (220pf) the TCXO output to the MIRIC chips osc input pin ..which previously had it's own osc crystal ...but now removed .. It aint pretty but it IS working .. and will be left working overnight to see if there is any drift in the morning ..? Here are a couple of photos of the bodge up ..and a screengrab showing the Aero ACARS data coming in ... Not an ideal temp/drift test as this can only really be done when the TCXO is properly fitted and SDRplay is located in a hot environment .. Still it proves it works ... and my warranty ... errrr gone... gnite I'm off to bed..[ATTACH=full]92230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92232[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
