The goal is to spend time on something that others could duplicate and not work on a one of a kind. First, why homebrewing ? Two reasons: 1) It is homebrewed 2) There is room for a "powerful" microprocessor that will do other things (APRS is one of them) 8) PLL: I am currently leaning towards National (LMX2306 or similar). They are cheap and available. NS has a nice PLL design tool online but the tool tries to convince me to switch to a better a part that I won't be able to handle (leadless package). It is clear that the new generations IC's are not designed for hand soldering at home... This is why God made Toaster Ovens. Do a web search on "toaster oven reflow". ------------------------------------------- Tim Wescott Seattle Robotics is the group that uses the toaster oven for reflow. It actually works very well !
