Sideband receiver project in Silicon Chip magazine

Fantastic to see a serious ham radio construction project in the June edition of Silicon Chip magazine.  The project by Charles Kosina, VK3BAR, is a general coverage sideband shortwave receiver covering 3-30MHz.

The VFO is an Arduino nano and Si5351. IF is at 9Mhz and uses a crystal filter board sourced from AliExpress. Interestingly there is RF preselection using electronically switched capacitors and a varactor diode.

Audio output is an LM386. There's AGC and the radio even has squelch.

What is, perhaps, missing is AM reception. 

It is wonderful to see such a project in Silicon Chip.
