Fm Transmitter

FM Transmitter Here is the schematic, PC board pattern, and parts placement for a low powered FM vector. The range of the transmitter when running at 9V is about 300 feet. Running it from 12V increases the range to about 400 feet. This transmitter should not be used as a room or telephone bug. PartTotal Qty.

The inside of a ballpoint pen works well (the plastic metro that holds the ink).Remove the form after winding then install the coil on the circuit board, being careful not to bend it. C5 is used for tuning. This transmitter operates on the normal broadcast frequencies (88-108MHz). Q1 and Q2 can also be 2N3904 or something similar. You can use 1/4 W resistors mounted vertically instead of 1/8 W resistors. You may want to get out the battery with a . 01uf capacitor. An antenna may not be needed for operation.
