FM transmitter 800m (2400ft)

FM transmitter 800m (2400ft) 

This fm wireless transmitter should only be used for educational purposes.

Regular transmission using such a transmitter without a licence is illegal in most countries.

I would like to tell you not to use this for illegal things

This is one of the smallest and neatest FM transmitters to be presented as a construction project

This will save going to a number of suppliers as no single supplier has all the 

necessary components. 

FM transmission is the best mode for transmitting a signal as it does not suffer 

from interference such as electrical noise from car engines or electrical appliances

etc. It also achieves the greatest range with the least power.

With just a handful of components and a few milliwatts of output power you can 

produce an FM transmitter with a very impressive range and perfect clarity.

With a 175cm (5ft 9in) (half-wave antenna) the range has been 

conservatively rated as 800 meters (2400ft) under normal working conditions. In many 

countries you must reduce the maximum range to 30ft (10 meters) by cutting the antenna

to 10 inches. If this is the case, you must abide by it. Some countries totally ban

these brilliant devices. You need to find out the situation in your own locality.

Using a battery for powering the circuit will reduce noise.
