Progress - QRP SDR Transceiver

I made a boo, boo and destroyed the Nanocomputer on the first DDS I built - wired up the Rotary Encoder wrong way round! Thus shorting out the +5V supply! But I have rebuilt it now. And this is what I have now, not finished, but the Transceiver is complete, and the DDS is working, but not yet the /4 74AC74 Johnson counter...

The display, and software which drives the DDS

The QRP TCVR is expected to have all of 50mW output! and will need a decent PA to use it on the 40, 30 & 20m bands.
