Thanks for the encouraging comments.

I love doing this sort of thing and it's something I have done all my life (started in the 60's with military surplus kit). I think there is a great deal of satisfaction in creating something that works and serves a purpose - even if it's just for fun! While I have no problem with people buying commercially built stuff, if they don't design and construct as well I think they are missing out on two things. The learning experience, and the tremenous sense of satisfaction gained when building something. I know technically this was not from scratch, but I would happily design and build a comms Rx or Tx/Rx from the gound up, if only I had the time....
