Someday, let's say in the year 2185, a restorer of warp drives and old HF
radios will stumble upon your cache of pristine KSYN3 modules and make your
great-great-(...)-great grand-daughter an offer she can't refuse. So go ahead.
Collect 'em :)

Ah, but the original KSYN3 does have a nice chunk
of Aluminum attached :-)

Based on the feedback I've received:
-- Lots of people are willing to give away their old KSYN3 modules, for
just the shipping costs
-- No one has an immediate application for the devices other than their
original purpose
-- The fear I had that controlling these things was rather complicated
I printed out the schematic of the original K3 synthesizer module. The
diagram says 'rev. A4' and is dated 8 Jan 2010. Hope that's close to the
as-built! (probably is)
This gizmo appears to have an output range from 8.7 to 46 MHz. I don't
know how much sauce it can develop but I have to

Hi Steve,
Not to throw cold water on this, but the original KSYN3 requires a ton of
firmware support, including a hand-tweaked table of thousands of PLL divider
values pre-calculated and stored in flash memory. We shoehorn the DDS reference
signal through a 3-kHz wide crystal filter in
6 matches
