I looked at the article. Nice try, but I don't have the equipment or

I wouldn't buy the evaluation board either. THere is a good chance
of finding the chip in some junk electronics with a module you can adapt
to your needs. Even if something only offers a ch 3 or 4 output doesn't
man it can't have the newer PLL modulator chip. Most equipment has a
microprocessor and supports the serial buss to talk to the chip so it
can be programmed for different markets.

I routinely soldered 244 pin packages under a stereo microscope, but
my vision has been poor since I was a kid.
