Just wanted to get back to building again, so threw together something from a couple of sources. Basically trying to bring up the Si5351 voltage to something, then put into a totem pole driver, and then into an IRF510. In LTSpice it is working great (17w), but on the bench, not so much (1.5w). The first driver section gives me what I want by itself, but when I put the totem pole on, it drops, so the transistor isn't turning on/off as hard and wasting power in between. Might try to poke some more later, but may try a different approach.
I also was driving with a sine wave instead of a square wave like I intended. Will need to go over my build and test again when I'm able to focus better...
