Phil - 

The Navy RAK receivers are around and usually cheap. Separate power
supply, weird antenna connector and so on. Barry the Hauser has the
market almost cornered on them last I knew, so he'd be a good one to
ask. Ken Gordon is also quite knowledegable about the circuit and has
been helping me to locate a RAL-8 to go with my RAK-8. He also has (or
had, last I knew) a few units to move.

Even if you do get a good deal on one ($50-$100), expect to pay a bit
for shipping if not local. They are in the 'original boatanchor'
category.
