A fast DIP comparator such as an LT1016 should work but it won't perform well without an effective ground plane.
If a CMOS gate is used then a low Q LC impedance step up network or equivalent will be needed to increase the signal swing at the gate input. Add a couple of schottky diode clamps for overvoltage clamping (internal CMOS gate clamp devices usually degrade performance if they conduct).

It doesn't have to have stunning performance: think breadboard, PIC, Arduino sort of stuff. I was looking for something in a PDIP-8 package; the same as all the picDIV or picPET chips I use. That's why older parts like µA9637 / DS9637 came to mind.
