Project: Working on a triple EAS receiver using FM boards from eBAY. Link is www.ebay.com/itm/264494060578

Couple pictures of the 3D printed face plate, next trip to the shop, will laser cut a 2U rack panel to mount them on

Intended for a non-profit LPFM, bet it has usability in a part 15 station as well...

That's cool, I've seen those small FM receiver boards on Ebay, and wondered what people would do with so many of them.

I've thought of something like that to relay audio up two floors to an AM transmitter input, like poor man's STL.

Working on a plan to replace the third FM radio with a weather radio for NOAA.

There's gerbers and other info for this on github: www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/11129

Douing the math to see what it would cost to recreate in the same form factor....

Not likely going to happen. Would need a minimum board run of 100 for a fab shop to even consider it. Off to ebay looking for used weather radios....
