The free Eagle program has all of the symbols. I had some time so I
started the schematic.

But, I asked about pin 8 because the schematic shows it as a control
signal AND connected to Vdd.

I wonder also about the PNP transistors, should probably be NPN. Is Vdd
really a battery?

Not a showstopper, but do you really need all three shift registers?
Plus, I would throw in a pair of small caps onto the crystal.

And those feedback resistors still bug me (the RX433 bothers the shift
register?). Power decoupling is needed, too.

I presume all DIP packages and big LED's? I don't mind helping, just
have to have details.
