Great idea! Only one comment that is not really worth mentioning but
nevertheless: "Why restrict it to just one freq? What's wrong with a
band from 3560 to 3599?" This would give less qrm on one freq. 73,

You know DDS chips have become so cheap that it's possible to build a
three chip solution (DDS, uC, and buffer amp) that will replace ANY rock
from 1.8-7.3 MHZ. OK, it's not vintage and more power to the guys that
can re-grind old FT243 rocks to change frequency. But with technology
changes some of our old rigs now might need outboard help, like those
who restore vintage TV sets now need to use set top boxes to get reception.
