[50mhz] Homebrew VHF lo FM receiver

[Dennis L. Wade]

Thanks Mike and Ray for your responses.  A pager or alert receiver 
would be ideal in this application.  However, I checked that E place  
and what I saw was a little more than what I wanted to spend on this 
idea.  Others have suggested kits, and although I'd love to put a 
series of Hamtronics kit receivers in this use, I really can't 
mortgage the house to fund that idea. :)

Mike, if you could find that information that would be great.  Alert 
receivers by Motorola, Plectron, or similar would be great at the 
right price.  I'm thinking I would need about 8 vhf lo and a couple 
of vhf hi eventually.  I'm beginning to think now that I should do 
this in stages, if for no other reason to preserve domestic 
tranquillity.

			Thanks again
