1-transistor FM Transmitter: A truly minimalist circuit. Performance is relatively poor and stability is a problem. Q1
modulates the signal and acts as an oscillator. L1 and C5 determine the frequency. Decrease C5 for a higher frequency and vice-versa. You won't get a long range transmission with this one. The
author claims 50-500 feet. A lot depends on the antenna. It must be made of stiff wire or else the frequency will change as you move the antenna. Experiment with different lengths to get the
maximum range. 50cm or less should work reliably most of the time. A longer antenna might give even better range but if you exaggerate, the circuit will begin to oscillate and performance will
drop dramatically. A regular telescope whip should work, too. (added 10/05) |

2-transistor FM Transmitter: While there are a plethora of similar 2-transistor schematics available, this one is above
average. A major improvement over the little 1-transistor circuit that we've discussed previously, this transmitter consist of two stages. The first transistor is used to amplify audio, which
means that the microphone is now much more sensitive to sound. The second one acts as an oscillator. All in all, this is an interesting project for beginners and more experienced
hobbyists alike. Use any stiff wire or telescope whip antenna, just make sure that it's not too long. Range should be about 100m or even more in the open. Stability is still a problem, though.

30
Meter QRP Transmitter for Morse Code: This transmitters' intended purpose is for morse-code only in the 30 meter band (10Mhz). It is a low-power QRP type and needs to be
connected to your existing tranceiver. The harmonic rejections on the prototype were measured at 40dB on 20Mhz and 50dB on 30Mhz... added 4/02) |

49MHz Walkie Talkie:
Lots of people are requesting walkie-talkie and RF remote control schematics, so here is some. Building these circuits needs special equipment and expertise in RF circuits. If you are going to
experiment with these circuits, please note that I did not build them, and I am not able to help you with any details. If you have no experience in RF, I suggest that you choose the easy way
and buy a ready-made RF module. Otherwise you can realize you have an exact copy of a circuit in your hand, still it doesn't work the way it should. (added 8/03) |

4W FM Transmitter : Don't be fooled by the relative simplicity of this transmitter. With 4W of power, it's not a toy! Since
it operates in the FM band (88-108MHz), a license is required for broadcasting. With a good and properly mounted antenna this baby has a range of up to 50km. In mountainous terrain or in
built-up areas, this figure is smaller, of course. The circuit is fairly small. The last two transistors dissipate quite a lot of heat. Make sure to protect them with sufficiently large
heatsinks or else you'll have a nasty meltdown. The coils are not all that critical, but should still be winded carefully to ensure efficient operation. Use enamel-coated wire at least 1mm
thick. As with all RF circuits, work slowly and pay attention to details. …. (added 11/05) |

AM/FM/SW Active Antenna: This circuit shows an active antenna that can be used for AM, FM, and shortwave SW. On the
shortwave band this active antenna is comparable to a20 to30 foot wire antenna. This circuit uses receivers that use untuned wire antennas, such as inexpensive units and car radios. L1 can be
selected for the application (Electronic Schematic / circuit added 4/02) |

Automatic Repeater: This circuit will be of interest to the radio amateur and anyone possessing two radios, (one of which
must be able to transmit i.e. a transceiver). It is a self powered (audio derived) repeater circuit for receiving a signal and re-transmitting it via the other radio. (added 10/05) |
