Steve, please order me two and, if possible, the crystal for 3.58 MHz 
(https://www.halted.com/commerce/ccp12792-crystal-3-58-mhz-28hc-1829-11697.htm).  I looked for a crystal for 7.114 (in the old  
Novice portion of the band and the "default" QRS calling channel) but I didn't 
find one.

Thanks for taking the lead on this.  I hope others will take advantage of this 
project and we can put these together as a group!

73,
Eric WG3K
