"Piratenpraten" is Dutch. It means "pirate talk"
Tot ziens!

Re: Simple TSA5511 schematic
nice to know
tot ziens = Until I see you, could be whenever. slightly formal.
tot gauw and tot snel are roughly equivalent I believe, though tot snel is more common = see you next time (could be up to a couple of months)
tot straks = later that day (would sound weird if used to refer to a time not the same day)
tot zo = in a few minutes (like if you could bump into them at work)
not sure where tot binnenkort fits in.

Re: Simple TSA5511 schematic
"Tot straks" is "see you soon", but seldom used these days, it seems. Dutch is a really rapidly changing language. I'm told by my youthful friends that I sound "antiquated" (ouderwets)!

Tot Mandag - amongst the last things I'd say to my colleagues on Friday afternoon (I worked in Holland for a couple of years).
Come to think of it, in the company I worked for at least, they'd wheel a trolley full of beer around on Friday afternoons and we'd all be invited to have a "borreltje" (a "little drink"). You don't get that in England these days do you!!

He said shuffy! I said WOT? Woo!

Re: Simple TSA5511 schematic
This PLL schematic.
My favoured approach is to "sniff" the Band II signal and feed that to the PLL from a later stage (where there's signal to spare) rather than risk unbalancing the oscillator. I found (for my cheap PLLs) that the 74F74 would easily clock at >120 MHz, so used this to "pre-scale" the Band II signal (dividing by 4) to feed the 74HC4040 diode-programmed frequency divider. The reference was a 74HC4060, which was programmed to allow the use of the cheap 4MHz crystals, and allow 100 kHz steps up the band. My phase comparator used a 74HC74 and 74HC00, feeding a low noise dual op-amp to give the loop filter, which works much better than the 4046, and gives clear "locked" and "unlocked" outputs.
Regards,
Marcel
