Ham Radio Homebrew Informations: Re: RE: [HamBrewers] Air Band Receiver

Hi all,

Thanks for infos. I have already known about SA602. I am searching it in local markets for last one month, but not available yet. So does anybody know the availability of this IC? or is there any other suggestions for direct reception?
