After the 28MHz freq drift stabilized a bit i connected my antenna the U3S for its maiden test. PD0OHW could decode the beacon that eventually is for him as he will use PU7ZWT HI11ln but still under test and waiting for a new Si5351A pcb . My attempt to replace the Si chip on the defective PCB did not help the Si5351a error still pops up on the U3S display at boot the I2C signals are present and the 3 ports carry RF so the replaced Si chips work but can not communicate with Progrock or U3S For unknown reason Hans Summers told me the Si5351a is not pre programmed standard. original stamp Si5351a 5351 B4DQ 447 replace chips stamp 5351 BHJN 632 although it was relative easy to replace this very small device both PCB still suffer same problem I was decoded with 300mW at 28MHz 2017-03-11 06:30 PA0O/U 28.126152 +30 -4 JO33hg 0.2...
