Receiver Circuit.

Here is the receiver circuit diagram. This gives a low level out which is further amplified by an external LM386 audio amp which can drive headphones or a speaker.
The detector uses a 0.25 watt leaded 2.2M resistor as feedback. The components around the first 071 op-amp are for a bandpass of apx. 500Hz. This is usable from 400 to 700 and offers significant attenuation from 50/60Hz sources of interference. Design equations for this circuit are available in the ARRL handbook.

As the circuit needed to be small, the op-amps are TL071CD surface mount devices and the 4.7uF capacitors are all tantalums.  The supply is 13.8V and the 22nF capacitors used in the bandpass filter should be 10% or better.
The pin out of the Burr Brown detector will depend on the case style. For the 8 pin DIL version the pins are:

Supply                          1                               Output             5             
Feedback (2M2)           2                               Ground            3
Zener                             8                              No connection   4  6  and  7      

Printed Circuit Board Layout

This PCB is viewed from the trackside.  All the components are mounted on this side of the board except the OPT210. The board has a ground plane on the reverse for the  zero Volt connection.
In this view the TL071 on the left is the bandpass filter. Both TL071s have pin 1 in the upper left while the OPT210 has pin 1 on the upper right. This layout is slightly different from of the one used in the prototype pictured earlier.

Notes:   1)  A link is needed  from pin 3 to pin 3 between the TL071 op-amps
               2) In this layout the buffer feedback resistor (100k) has a capacitor in parallel. This should act as a low pass filter, but in practice caused instability.   It was removed during testing.
               3) Pin 3 of the detector is soldered on both sides of the PCB. This provides an earth for the TL071 buffer at pin 4
               4) Pin 6 of the detector is soldered to the groundplane for added strength
