Larry, I have a circuit which I have been using 
since it was published in July 1991 by Garry, 
VK2YBX in an Australian electronics magazine called Silicon Chip.

I will send you 2 scanned jpg files of the 
article. They are about 650kB each. There were 
some errors in the article which you can see I 
corrected. The crcuit works very well indeed.

73, Alek
