Here are the gerbers and associated stuff for the 2211-based demod that was
sold on the list a few years back. I believe the 2211 is still available at
least in smallish quantities. 

This board was designed to be easy to hand assemble and it's single-layer
with no tight tolerances so you can even DIY etch it if you're bored.
Attaching the digikey parts list too.
