   Hi Howard,

   Any plans for a matching TX for the FCD?
   Thanks!

     Hello Mike

     We’re starting to develop a new device but it is quite a way off yet, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. I woudn’t call it an “FCD with TX” either.

     The biggest problem is that if you need to transmit, you’re going to need some power, and a USB bus powered unit probably isn’t of much use unless you’re happy with a few 100 milliwatts.

     A few of the key points of the FCD are that it’s small, it’s self contained, and doesn’t need tons of spaghetti cabling. These design rationales will be maintained in the next device. Beyond that we’re not promising anything!

     Many thanks, Howard

     Hello Jerry

     Including Fedex priority shipping, it works out to about $170 at the moment.

     Many thanks, Howard

   Is it possible to start monitoring at 50.00 MHz if input LP filter is accordingly modified or are there other limitations extending down to 50.0 MHz?

     Hello Peter

     I’m afraid the limitation is more to do with the LO than the filter. The PLL/divider scheme in combination with the VCO does not lend itself to stretching below about 51.5MHz.

     Many thanks, Howard
