   Jacques -

       There are none that I know of... yet... built in North
   America, but there are a number of the Ron Graham VK4BRG
   2m receivers in use.  Ron gives good service by mail order.
   He sells a dual-conversion AM receiver with audio S-meter
   using the MC3362 chip (that works fine of FM signals using
   slope detection.)

       A new entry is Bryan Ackerly VK3YNG's update to the
   Bruce Paterson VK3TJN "Ultra Sniffer".  These are
   microprocessor controlled and offer all sort of fancy
   features.  Last I heard they should be ready for
   distribution in the very near future.  The user manual
   is available online at:

      For 80m, I am just finishing up an article for QST on a
   simple receiver using readily-available parts.  They aren't
   hard to build using "ugly construction", and boards will
   be available from FAR Circuits.  I may make up some more
   "pre-publication evaluation" kits - let me know if you
   want more information.

      Some time ago I promised to send you some of the circuits and
   articles in my collection.  Well, I haven't found the folder yet,
   though I did look for it.  But I did find a couple schematics that
   I can send you.... if I can find them again...
