Interesting...
I was looking at a copy of the .PDF that I'd downloaded a year or two
ago and it has neither schematic - but as you point out, the one
currently online has the TX. Hmmm... A botched revision, maybe?
The receive side does use a phototransistor, though: Nothing special -
just a high-gain op amp circuit followed by a lowpass filter and speaker
amp: Adequate sensitivity for several miles when used with
suitably-large lenses.
FWIW, the Ramsey kit uses a Motorola HC68-series controller, not a PIC:
Lot's of manufacturers have similar devices with like-capabilities, however.
Finally, as was said, I'd be wary about posting someone else's
copyrighted stuff without their permission.
