Charles great suggestion on the NE5532. Just bread boarded the first section of the receiver very quickly and the component values work as is. Thats also as it should be. I need to do a noise check tomorrow but it appears I can heat up the ole soldering iron and build quite a bit of the receiver. Ah the smell of burning insulation and flux in the evening. Regards Paul WB8TSL
