So I have a pedal (proximity controlled filter) that contains an oscillator which varies in frequency from about 80kHz down to 30kHz.
I also want to include a step-up switching power supply so I can get more power to the antenna and boost its range.

I'm thinking the oscillator I'll need to use for the power supply should be extremely high frequency, to avoid mixing in with the antenna oscillator, and causing unwanted theremin-like behaviors.

Any thoughts on what frequency I should use for the power supply to avoid problems? Right now I'm thinking >1MHz would be a safe bet.

Thanks,
Alex
