Universal VFO 10 KHz-160 MHz with Retro Analog Scale (variable frequency oscillator)

[@dxexplorer]

I usually don't like digital VFOs... and I have no clue on codes and stuff like that. But I love this one so much that I will learn just so I can build this 😀😀. Love it. Thank you for sharing the info.

[@markawbolton]

That is really beautiful. If I were into radio I would definitely build one.

[@olivierconet7995]

What a nice user interface ! Old fashioned and so easy to use.

[@michelsbench]

Thanks!

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Welcome!

[@patrick4228]

Thank you for all the information! I look forward to build this project myself.

[@Yorumcu63]

Great projectThank you for video

[@M0NTVHomebrewing]

Great work Mirko! Essentially the Si5351 outputs a square wave but I think the reason it looks cleaner (and more sinusoidal) the higher in frequency you go is simply the fact that the bandwidth limitation of your oscilloscope is acting as a low pass filter. It looks like yours is rated at 1 GHz and so once you start getting up into the lower VHF range you'll probably find the higher harmonics will be effectively filtered out so your 'square' wave starts to increasingly look like a sine wave. Very well done though. Many congratulations! 73, Nick M0NTV

Thanks :)

Well done my Friend🙌🙂🤝

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Thanks

[@AlienRelics]

I love the display!

[@electronic7979]

Very good 👍

Genijalno Mirko! Pozz iz HR! Bilo bi super da je tft lcd 3.2"!!

Hvala ti, evo adrese slicnog projekta na 240x320 LCD, ILI9341 2.8" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rovJfKuEmNOUm9U

i wish i had the bucks to get you a nice 3D printer. I think you'll have fun with it with your style of making cases etc. Which is a pretty good style. Nice job .

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Thanks

[@totallysmooth1203]

I do have a 3D printer. But I would think that a VFO would actually need to be in a steel cabinet or would leak RF like crazy.

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

@@totallysmooth1203 There is no need for a metal cabinet, it works quite stable like this in a plastic box

[@fabianandres-r5w]

excellent!!! I like to try it

[@mayxnerde2952]

Super Video again, and a top Page for rebuilding Mirko, thank you very much!!!! Greetz from Dessau, Maik DF7MR

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Thanks :)

[@EmersonCapuano]

Is it that vfo you talked about? Such amazing, a true blowing mind vfo with these new features. Shure I will do that one. 👏😀. Good work Sir.

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Thanks Emerson

[@KennethScharf]

It's more likely that at higher frequencies you still have a square wave, just that the oscilloscope SHOWS it as a sine wave.

[@totallysmooth1203]

The question is, what would be needed to make this VFO drive the old tube rigs that require upwards of 10 volts of drive?

[@anilkumar-u7r1u]

Please help.Compilation error: arduino.h: No such file or directory (VFO_CTRL_V5)☹

[@electronics.unmessed]

Great dial! Love it. Thanks for the video-. 👍 Would it be possible to control the VFO by an external voltage?

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

In this case, no

[@SQ5DBF]

Good job.

Hi, can you please post links to the references you mentioned.

[@radiorider8249]

Excellent job. Is it possible to insert an intermediate Frequency in the code ? For example, for a 7 MHz received frequency on my receiver the IF is on 9 MHz, so the LO must oscillate on 17 MHz. I want to display 7 MHz of course. (display : 16- 9). thanks for advice.

[@echo-_-radio]

i love this thank-you for sharing i am a slow starter but a fast learner i get this error when verifying the sketch Compilation error: too many arguments to function 'hw_timer_t* timerBegin(uint32_t)' any ideas please thank you 73.

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

First try with other version of esp32 core or older library version

[@YO2LDK]

this was originally designed by JF3HZB T J Uebo, an excellent project from him, BUT, no credits..

[@deterdamel7380]

He mention this in the video and hackster project page.

[@astrogerard]

Absolutely beautiful. I wish it would be possible to use a ILI9341 display but I assume this isn't easy to port?

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Actually, these days the author of this project promoted a version with an ILI9341 display. Watch at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rovJfKuEmNOUm9U

[@AnandKumar-on9hu]

I don't have any idea about electronic and it's products, kindly help

[@5VoltChannel]

Nice 👍👍

[@Dominiquecoppin-o8z]

Hello, the project is very beautiful to install in a retro device or a personal retro style manufacturing. I have a question about the vfo code. I must cover a band from 6.4 Mhz up to 6.8 Mhz, this is the local oscillator from which I must subtract an IF of 10.237 The VFO must give 6.4 to 6.8 real. But it must display :: example 6,737 - 10,237 = -3,500 therefore display 3,500 for the 80m band. It must be reversed too. Does the code allow you to do this? Thank you for your interest 73' on5lcn

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

It could, but unfortunately the code is not mine and I will need more time to look into that possibility. If I manage, I will answer you

[@Dominiquecoppin-o8z]

@@MirkoPavleskiMK Thank you for your response Mirko, it would be great to have a vfo like that on a personal build. Nice retro look, it's nice of you to look into the subject. This would be for an 80m transceiver Universal VFO 10 KHz-160 MHz with Retro Analog Scale (variable frequency oscillator) on PCBWay is good for the job? Thanks 73'on5lcn

[@SVAyouTube]

Is it possible to repeat this device but using an Arduino microcontroller? Thanks 👍

[@robc3863]

Is there a standard for dial direction? Should dial numbers increase to the right?

[@carlosmarmeli2587]

Muito exelent projeto de inteligent.

[@cabralcrd]

Hello, good evening, I assembled this project but the frequency was a little off, the display shows 7.130mhz but the frequency meter shows 7.128mhz, is there a way to perform a calibration?

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

In "VFO_CTRL_V5.ino" , in line "int32_t offset_frq = 0;" you need to enter the difference, for example in your case it should be "int32_t offset_frq = 2000;"

[@Lanco.valdivia]

Good, 👍

[@SergiuCosminViorel]

Do you sell these?

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Sorry, no

[@roger552fl5]

Are you selling this model and how much

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Sorry, no
