I'm sure you know it's a little trickier building a transmitter because of RF. It can be a challenge for the beginner to keep the RF out on the antenna. Rather than have it go into the power supply or it having find a path to ground.

The one volt difference isn't going to harm the transmitter. You can also modify some of the older HP Printer power supplies. Most of those are at 32V. A voltage regulator and a few discreet parts and you can build it right into the Talking House.

    Nice circuit. I will build one, but I would like to know more about how this circuit works. As I'm still learning radio theory please feel free to correct the following if I'm wrong. First, an audio signal enters from the right past a voltage divider and current limiter resistor to the gate of the MOSFET. While this is going on the coil and variable cap are oscillating at a frequency somewhere in the AM band. The oscillation is sustained by the voltage tap from the power supply. Pins 4 and 5 of the coil are not connected as the secondary side of the coil (normally an IF coil) is not needed. To get modulation, the MOSFET partially shunts the amplitude of the oscillator's signal to ground in response to the audio input. The modulated signal is then fed to the antenna through the 68pf capacitor. As for the parts, I'm finding that the coil is easily obtainable but the variable cap is larger than most available from the radio supply houses. Can I assume that a 15pf to 365pf capacitor will work as well, though maybe not for the full range of the AM band?

    Hello Rick, I hope this finds you healthy and sane. A little unrelated but hopefully you can help. I built the McWhorter AM Tube TX recently and I’m having issues getting audio into it. The input transformer was not specified and I’ve tried some stuff I had laying about but still no luck. Any chance you could steer me in the right direction?

    The audio transformer is one that you could use as the output for a 50C5 or a 50L6. For the transmitter I'm using the transformer backwards. Using the transformer as a step-up transformer.

    Thanks, I actually want to limit the frequency by design. i have recently built a transmitter using an XTAL Crystal and LM386 that works quite well but the distance is limited. I have a few n-channel mosfets sitting around and figured i could use them to increase the range, just wasn’t sure how to wire them up, seems that every other tutorial is using BGT transistors.

    Rick, thank you so much for your previous reply. Just one more question. On the schematic, you have 495-48. I don't think that it's a 495pf, that would be much bigger than the one you showed. I'm guessing that 47pf is the high end, and the low end wasn't stated. Anyways, I found a 4 to 50pf. Will that suffice ?

    Hey AA5Radio! I'm trying to make this circuit, as I find it VERY unique, but for the life of me, I cannot get it to oscillate. I've got the exact P-c70-OSC coil from antiqueradioparts, and the 3034 mosfet. I'm using a 365 pF variable cap (old one out of a radio). All parts are checking out good, but I simply CANNOT get the thing to oscillate as shown. the FUNNY thing is, if I substitute the .001uF cap for a .033uF, then it oscillates around 1MHZ, but CANNOT be tuned, AND, I can actually REMOVE the variable cap, and it still oscillates. What the heck am I doing wrong?! I've built it on a breadboard, and I'm pretty sure I've got it wired correctly. Thanks for all your videos.

    Volgens de comment van Elvind Amundsen zouden spoeltjes van 100µh tot 150µh en een van 10µh ook moeten werken (in serie). Deze zijn wel weer een stuk makkelijker te krijgen. En als ik naar het schemaatje kijk van hoe de spoel is opgebouwd dan zou je als je de 100µh met de punt die niet aangesloten zit aan 10µh dan dienen als punt 1, het punt waar beide spoelen aan elkaar verbonden zijn punt 2 en de uiteinde van de 10µh logischerwijze punt 3.

    Most Wall Warts have poor voltage regulation (if any) and even worse filtering. It's not uncommon to see 12V wall wrts putting out up to 15V. If you want clean audio from your transmitter, build the regulator circuit shown in this video.

  • @ohger1

    @ohger1

    2 жыл бұрын

    A basic wall wart is usually an 60hz (U.S.) AC transformer, a bridge rectifier, and a filter capacitor. These aren't regulated and the voltage drifts with load changes. But, there are plenty of "brick" supplies which are indeed tightly regulated. Still, in this circuit, you don't need a regulator with an unregulated 12V wall wart. Just add another filter capacitor on the board (like 2200uf/25V) and bypass that with a 0.1pf.
