Re: [amsat-bb] 2.4 G beacon

Mark,

I suggested this approach to Francisco before i saw your sugestion.  Then
Mike came up with the url.  Great!  

How about I purchase 9 of them and make them up in a small utility box and
sell them on amsat-bb? Say $12-18 for the complete unit with BNC connector.
 Or sell the diode for cost+shipping?  I need to order some LMR-400 and
N-connectors from RF anyway.
