[RCSE] Hobbico Frequency Checkers
You know what would be cool - if you took one apart and integrated it into your club's freq board, so each board slot would have it's own LED light indicating if it was open or not (but do NOT use it as a subtitiute for putting your card/pin up there). Shouldn't be too hard to wire that up, and cheap too. You could also integrate the antenna (or a custom long range antenna) and a solar power source on top of your freq board and have it always be on. A project for next winter . . .

That's a great idea, and I'll probably build one myself! Unfortunately they don't expect the scanners until mid-May. They're meant to run on 3 AAA alkaline cells, so a common four-cell rechargeable receiver pack will probably work fine for the frequency board project.

Or a 3 cell rechargeable wireless telephone pack would work.
