S1: Mine are wired to the on/off switches on the TRC-485 CB's I use.
T1: Winding impedances 7x ckt Z (but 10x should be OK)(Hi-u torroid or Amidon 1811-77 pot core).
Turns ratio 1:7 *
T2: Winding impedances 10x ckt Z. (Amidon 1811-77 pot core) Turns ratio 1:7. Try ~60 turns #26 for 50 ohm secondary). *
U1: LM833 (National specalized audio preamp BJT op-amp)
U2, U3: TDA2003 or ECG/NTE 1288
X1: 26.920 (CB CH 37 Rcve with 455 KHz IF)($2.50 ea at Radio Shack 1-800-843-74225)
 Other channels can be used.
Case: Cast Aluminum Hammond 1197 (119 x 93 x 34mm)
* I used junk-box cores for L3, L4, T1, T2. L3 should be Hi-Q and use a core to confine the fields for self-shielding  Q is not very important for L4 and the transformers, but tight coupling between windings is required (ie no air gaps). Good luck.
** R16 and C13 were added to stabilize the preamp at maximum gain with the input open circuit.
