You could use also 12.2880 MHz TCXO, but this frequency configuration has less testing. Any other TCXO frequency is not supported. -If you can't decode any 4FSK modulation (DMR, YSF and P25) with your ZUMspot, the common solution is to adjust RX frequency offset (RXOffset) in your MMDVM.ini file. Please try with steps of +-100 Hz until to get low BER. If you don't have test equipment, the only procedure is trial and error. +The jumper wire to CLKOUT in RF7021SE module is not longer required for lastest MMDVM_HS firmware. But CE pin connection of ADF7021 is required for proper operation of ZUMspot. + +Be aware that some Blue Pill STM32F103 board are defectives.
