Glad you got around to finishing it Alan and are finiding it useful!
As to the length of time to get round to finishing it off, some of my projects have very long gestation periods! I've been rummaging about in the loft among my half-started stalled projects and to my horror, came across a box marked 'Curve Tracer' in which was a PCB I'd etched and built, and all the other bits needed to complete the project, together with the magazine article from 'Electronic Digest' dated Autumn 1980 (Why did I think I needed a curve tracer? But maybe I'll finish it off now that I've unearthed it!).
l also built all the PCBs to make a multi-band QRP 'G3TSO' SSB transceiver which featured in Radcom in the late 1980s using the excellent Plessey SL600 series of communcations ICs, and built and tested the VFO and digital readout, but then I lost interest in amateur radio. Realistically, I doubt that I'll ever re-kindle that interest, and I'm never going to finish that project, so, I think it's going to have to go when I can get round to advertising it in perhaps the G-QRP SPRAT magazine for someone else to finish.
