Hi,
For 149.82MHz, use L3 of 14nH to 17nH, with the following register settings,
R1_DB25 = 1 (this sets the VCO to external VCO)
R1_DB18 = 1
R1_DB[23:24] = XX
R1_DB[19:22] = 2
For 401.9MHz, use L3 of 6nH to 8nH, with the following register settings,
R1_DB25 = 1 (this sets the VCO to external VCO)
R1_DB18 = 0
R1_DB[23:24] = XX
R1_DB[19:22] = 3
For your last question, do you mean frequency of VCO without dividing by 2?
