lee I would like to see your layout. 

I recommend Farcircuits for the production. Fred is working with me on 
a reciever project and is very reasonable on the board prices. 

I did a layout last spring but havent finished it. I used a 3 pin dip, 
and I added a 10 turn 1k pot in the ground lead of the Epsom chip for 
frequency adjustment. 

I have been tied up on the rec project and also have my good friend and 
neighbor Paul Wynne AF5M  in the terminal stages of brain cancer, the 
wife and I help as much as we can. Paul is in home hospice care. 

If you want I can contact Fred about the boards. 

good luck with it
