Default Foxhunting controller/transmitter

Anyone got pointers to a good *and* inexpensive 2m FM foxhunting xmtr
with integrated controller? Ramsey used to make just exactly what I
want, and so (of course) they've discontinued it.

I'd like it to do a (programmable) CW ID, with a programmable delay
from a minute or so up to 30 minutes, in roughly 1-minute steps. Xtal
control is OK, but a good, stable VFO (DDS or DDS + PLL, rather than
PLL alone) would be better. Settable power level would be good, too,
and I can do with max power about 1 W.

Thanks and 73, de

Do a web search for the "Montreal Fox". I've built one that works OK.
The circuit board that's available is quite rough, but the thing is
buildable.
