I`m afraid i'm not that familliar with this `fascinating niche of electronics`,
but i have seen ads for this type of thing in the back of modern electronics
and radio electronics, they are only small ads (they are only small devices :-)
the cost seems to be fairly minimal (one with a 1 mile range about the size
of a quater $29.98). As for the legality of these, its obviously not illegal
to sell them (in kit form), but i suspect that you had better not get caught
using one <grin>.
