RE: Newbee question about Rx

Here is a link to one voltage monitor that you can build yourself.

http://www.cliftech.com/

I have built several of these. The total cost for me was about US $4.00 per monitor. The LM3914 IC sells for about $2.50 from www.jameco.com and the 10 LEDs are worth about $1.50. I already had the circuit board material, resistors, and Rx connector. If you had to buy all of this retail the total would come to over $10 per monitor, not including shipping costs.

My monitor came out slightly heavier than the Voltwatch from Hobbico.
