I was thinking about this some more 
and it had occurred to me to buy a bunch of the FOBS, modify them with the two 
leads and testing, then make them available for resale. The problem is I just 
don't have time to do it and deal with shipping and payment etc. I certainly 
would not be interested in making any money doing it. A qualified person could knock off 10-20 in an hour. If 
the purchase cost was $2.50 then maybe $5 plus shipping would be a reasonable 
price.

Perhaps there is someone out there that could volunteer 
to help with this on a case by case basis. The other thing you could do is make 
it a club project. Certainly there is one person in a club that would have the 
capability to do it. 


For me, it is my eye site, isn't as good 
as it use to be and everything has gotten way to small.

Just finished up building a controller and had to use a 5x magnifier.  
At least when you bread board stuff you can space things 2 microns further apart 
than half an atom:)
I think most hams are older now.  I don't see the 
younger crowd getting in to the hobby, sad to say.  So size of stuff is 
more important to me now.  As I wont tackle a project that requires a lot 
of smt components.
Mike
