Jay,

You may wish to consider the RLL Instruments VolksMeter ( =
http://www.rllinstruments.com ).  This Seismometer/Tiltmeter was =
developed by members of the psnlist (it uses Larry Cochrane's WinSDR / =
Winquake software and he designed the interface PCB).  The instrument is =
sensitive to teleseismic as well as local events.  It is well within =
your budget, with the single channel model currently selling for =
$1245.00 and the 2-channel (X,Y) version for $1795.00. (To the basic =
instrument cost, you need to add a basic Windows computer to control the =
instrument and record the data.)

Several psn members own and operate VolksMeters as well as many other =
academic, research and advanced amateur users.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the =
VolksMeter.
