Two different articles in Radio-Electronics: March 1986, a simple
decoder that does not make any attempt to handle the decompression used
in MTS.  Jan-Feb 1987 describes a more  complicated one that handles
the decompression, but alas, not in an exactly correct manner.  You see,
a special DBX IC is required.  It is not available to those of us that
have not signed a license aggreement with DBX.  Still, this one looks
pretty good.  I have not built it, however.
