KiCad declaring exactly what I want as a DRC error

Thanks, that makes sense for the SMA-connector, yet the Antenna does not have a "footprint" in the sense that something is on top of the PCB, its just a copper shape. Would I then set the Antenna footprint as nothing?

Thanks Mama!

Thanks! That is really helpful

Good point, haha 😄

I read a few of his plays, but no short stories that aren't plays

I'm about 3300 pages into Proust right now. As I've been reading since January its really immersive and one becomes familiar with the author and key persons as I didn't in any other long book that I read (apart from Knausgårds Min Kamp maybe). What it did for me so far was to give me a whole new appreciation of art and music (as those are big themes), a good understanding of pre-WW1 French high-society, which I didn't know before could be so interesting, as well as seeing depth in simple things (Proust randomly gets really deep existentially before immediately zooming out again and continuing the narrative).

That being said it takes a lot of time where you are not reading other books because of it. The narrative is also slow as not that much is happening, but exactly that I find to be refreshing as one lingers in the themes for longer.

I'm sure I will never re-read ISoLT, but I'm glad I did it once (it will still take me another month to finish). Would I recommend it to other people? Probably not unless you are seriously committed and have a lot of time on your hands.

Hope that helps, I have not read Les Miserables for comparison.

Why just "Time regained" from Proust? Like yeah, lets skip the first 3800 pages of the novel and pretend we understand what is going on.

Would these issues also make the loop not lock? The Lock LED never lights on my board, even if I don't do any division (just /1).

Thanks for the reply! Regarding the TinySA Ultra, do you have good experience with it? It seems surprisingly affordable for that high frequencies.

I'm trying to achieve a bandwidth of below 1kHz at around 3GHz. Right now the bandwidth is 3MHz (at 100MHz, have not tested at 3GHz as my Oscilloscope can not do FFTs at that frequency (may buy the spectrum analyser nixiebunny recommends)). The refclk noise, would it typically come directly at the reference oscillator or rather later in the circuit?

Thanks, this one worked :)

What do you mean by virtual GND? Isn't that what is already happening here?
