	Right on!  Besides, most of the integrated receivers have far
superior selectivity (read spurious signal rejection) than any receivers
built with discrete tone detectors.  Not only can integrated receivers
implement more filter poles than is convenient for discrete construction,
but some of the newer integrated receivers use switched-capacitor filters.
