If anyone wants to see my Prototype Printed Circuit Board for my LOWfer 
transmitter, send me an e-mail.  I layed out the diagram with EXPRESS PCB 
and then hand etched a prototype board to see if it is going to work before 
I have some made up professionally.  I installed the 3 IC chip sockets and 
the 4-pin dip switch plus the 5 volt regulator today.  That's about half of 
the solder connections.

The board has a dip switch to turn on the transmitter all the time, select 1 
of 7 msgs on the K1EL chip, Epson oscillator, divide bye 10 chip, drive pot, 
balance pot, push-pull output, low pass filter with the option to tap to 
antenna before or after the low pass filter.  5 volt regulator to power the 
ICs.  Seperate power input for final transistors (12-24 volts).
