    A pretty simple circuit could be constructed using a mike placed very
    close to the source so you wouldn't have to tap into it. There are VOX
    kits out there that might suffice. I think Ramsey Electronics has one,
    among others. An example is at
    http://www.electronics123.com/amazon/default.htm
    Search for VOX. You should find the CPS13 kit for $8.95US. You'll have
    to come up with a mike for it though. I'm sure you can find other kits
    on the net.

    Jim.
