	On page 27 in CQ-TV 259 (spring 2018) Dave G8GKQ produced a guide to generating your own PIC code for the ADF4351. Members can find this issue for download here https://batc.org.uk/cq-tv/cq-tv-download/ and a low resolution copy is available here [[:File:CQ-TV 259 page 27.JPG]]		On page 27 in CQ-TV 259 (spring 2018) Dave G8GKQ produced a guide to generating your own PIC code for the ADF4351.

		+	In summary:
		+	* Download and run the ADF software - this program is used to generate the correct hew codes that you then put in to Ron's PIC program.
		+	* To get started, go to the registers tab and copy the values out of the line beginning "unsigned long registers" from Ron's .C programs (download link above)
		+	* Go to the main controls tab and make sure the frequency and ref etc are set to 437MHz ans 25 MHz.
		+	* If yes, change the frequency and reference etc to suit your needs.
		+	* Cut and paste the new hex values back in to the C program and save under a different name.
		+	* Run the compiler and programmer on the new file as described in Steve's guide below.

+Once you have downloaded Ron's C code or generated some of your own you will need to compile and program in to a PIC. This done using MPLABX\v3.51 downloaded free from Microchip. When compiled, the package directly programs the PIC using PICKit 3. The compiler is XC8 which is also downloaded from the same site and integrates with MPLABX IDE: http://www.microchip.com/mplab/mplab-x-ide
 Steve M0SKM has written a Compilation and Programming guide in .pdf format. Hopefully this guide will encourage others to build these very useful oscillators.

 When Steve first tackled this project he looked around for software and learned it from scratch. Others will undoubtedly find alternative methods but this way worked for him. Thanks also to Claudio I2NDT who test ran the guide successfully.
