Anyone know of an easy to build ider? I know a basic stamp can be
used, but I don't have the programming abilities. The QST ones I've
seen all use outdated components and are complex. I'm building a
small broacast band beacon (low end, around 530 khz) Thanks, 73,
Mike.

You could build something with an EEPROM and some counters. See my 30m
beacon project http://www.hanssummers.com/radio/qrss/index.htm . There's no
microcontroller in sight. But it's replaced by, err..., quite a number of
TTL etc. If you didn't want all the features and you didn't want to be able
to reprogram it frequently, you could come up with considerable
simplifications.
