A better receiver

Although the testing phase is incomplete, to actually conduct these tests more easily, we need to have a 'finished' receiver. Try holding a breadboard, power pack and laptop still on your lap whilst holding a metre long antenna out of a car window!

The prototypes work, but are fragile and cumbersome. Having the receiver in a single, easy to transport and handle unit with sockets for antenna (BNC) and serial (DB9) will make subsequent test runs much smoother. As you can see here, the work on such a unit is just beginning.
