[Laser] 5mw laser tranceiver kit

Tim, I looked at your schematic and was struck by the irony that the 
transmitting diode could be either a laser pointer - or an LED.  Maybe 
Chris would be happy to see a DP3T switch on the kit - to demonstrate 
the advantage and disadvantage of each radiator - and, perhaps even 
different receive diodes.

How is this different from my second CW transmitter, a Heath DX-20 (the 
first was a homebrew hand-wound 6V6 pine-chassis, from the '56 ARRL 
Handbook, I think), which offered five-band switching?  I learned 
quickly that 15 meters, at the time, did not work as well as 40 did, and 
80 was cluttered with summertime QRN.  I learned that advantage by 
myself, given the opportunity to try both.
