That device is excellent, Leigh.  I have one built into my K2 and would
not do without it.  Likewise, it is sensitive to +/- 10Hz.

There is a CMOS version of the zero-beat indicator around by LA3ZA using
the LMC567 although I have not tried it. It is said to draw 0.9mA at 5V
compared with 20mA at 8V for the LM567 version.

Have a look at http://www.qsl.net/la3za/QRP_Zero.html
