If you don't want to spend an afternoon building a programmer for a
PIC, AVR
or whatever, be prepared to pay the long dollar. There are few folks
these
days who would build an IDer from discrete circuits. However, it's a
pain
in the butt trying to make an IDer programmable for someone who
doesn't want
to program!

The Hamtronics suggestion was most welcomed... As I'd stated .... I
don't have the knowledge or expertise at programming, debugging
software, etc. to indulge in the PIC. I'm sure it is a useful device
and honestly, if I had the time to spend, I'd go that route, 73, Mike.
