Brian,
In the Email from James below he has available 1, 2, and 10 Mhz spans
when
the top end cannot be higher than 14.5 Mhz. I picked 2.5 to 12.5 for my 20a
project. Of course you can also pick the usual SSB 5-5.5 range and beat that
against a series of rocks for the bands you'd like to cover. Hey the
sidebanders do that, why can't we?
Regards,
Jim

How do you get one programmed to cover a wider range of frequencies than
just
one band?
I would like to get one that would generate from 1.8 to 12 MHz
I already have an AD9850 chip here.
