General points to consider (answers would be appreciated TT):

  1. The TI amplifier pattern was kind of sketch and I'm not sure if I made the component with the right dimensions.
  2. I'm still super confused with how the antenna can fit/how I represent that on the PCB/schematic. Currently I just have the con header??
  3. Not sure how I add a battery to the board (sorry I'm suupper unfamiliar with how PCB works). The idea is to put it on the back of the PCB?
  4. I kind of autorouted everything because I spent 2 hours manually routing to no avail T>T. I looked over it and it seems fine, but again-- not super familiar, not sure if I broke major rules for boarding.
  5. This schematic should work but it's not super tunable. I'm working on another schematic rn that uses one of the MAX260x VCOs. (Also is there a way I can simulate my circuit somehow? is partsim good for that?)
