Do they have really cheap FM broadcast band only pocket radios over there,
that tune with one button (and have a second button to reset to the bottom
of
the band)?

They're everywhere here, and I've seen them for as low as $1.99 Canadian.
Curious, I bought one at that price. No cermic filter, so it's using
an oddball scheme.

Hi Michael,

Yes, we do have those wireless sets. The cheapest I have found is 69 crowns
(US$9) which is still quite expensive. But then again, the TDA70xx ICs are
also quite expensive, or obsolete. I am seeking a source of the chip outside
Europe for my kits.
