This worked better on the XO1.5, presumably because of its higher processing speed. The headphones are omitted. A 0.1uF capacitor is connected between the radio output and the XO input to isolate the detector diode from the XO's DC bias. Theory predicts that a resistor to ground would be necessary at the radio output but practice indicates otherwise.
