Hello all (new here!), I understand this is off-site (and hopefully not in the wrong place in the forums) but a few years back I decided to construct a simple FM radio transmitter. Long distance didn't really matter to me then, so I decided to choose the most basic design I could possibly find, which I found here; http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/circ/fmt2.htm However, for the life of me I could never get this to work; the coil I made seemed to do nothing, the sound was distorted and the whole thing seemed to "transmit" even when the 3V power was removed (leaving only the audio input!). I understand that there are FM transmitters with PCB designs here, though PCB design and construction is *well* beyond my abilities x.x . Does anyone know of anything simpler - or prehaps even maybe a low-powered AM transmitter would be easier? Thanks, ljones
