All,

<br>
Would overclocking a "Standard" 130 MHz LTC2208 as fitted on
Mercury to say, about 142 MHz be possible using standard
overclocking techniques like extra cooling, voltage adjustments
and so on?
<br>
<br>
Since the 70 MHz / 4 meter band is becoming more and more a
regular legal amateur radio band (in Europe), this would make
Mercury a nice receiver for this band!
<br>
<br>
Questions:
<br>
<br>
- Is overclocking (about +10% of the clock) at all an option for
this type of device, an ADC?
<br>
- Clock frequency? (multiple of 192 kHz, 142.08 MHz?)
<br>
- Is there an appropriate clock device with the required spec's
for this higher frequency available at a reasonable price?
<br>
- Additional cooling? Microfan?
<br>
- Voltage adaptations?
<br>
- Adaptions for the FPGA-code, PowerSDR, KISS?
<br>
(I know Gerd - DJ8AY once did a version of Mercury / PowerSDR
for the 160 MHz version of the LCT2208 (LCT2209?) )
<br>
<br>
Would like to hear any thoughts on this.
