Had this idea a while ago never got round to putting it together.. great stuff!❤️😎👍

After long long time legend is back with new video pls keep posting your videos

Fascinating tweaking! Very nice close-up shots. Looks like a fun experiment! ~

wow great to see ya making videos again. loved you radio on a two penny piece videos.. when i saw the little blue dot by your channel in my subs not to long back i was so happy. GLAD YOUR BACK... : ) P.S. this one's going in my Favourite's alongside your many other videos. also i made the one you had on top of the 9V battery,(the little transmitter) worked like a charm, was well chuffed. still have it around in one of my parts drawers must pull it out again. : )

Very awesome looking transmitter. Cheers!

This is like fitting a turbocharger to a Moped ! I Love it 👍😁

TIP Its a bad idea to transmit with more than a few watts in the city or highly populated residential areas as the transmitter can overload everyone radio receiver in the immediate area, this will lead to complaints and swift crack down, so be warned. Its 1W max in dense areas or 10 ~ a few hundred Watts in rural , and do not jam or interfere with a licensed broadcaster. Do tests with a fm radio reception around the TX site to make sure all is ok. Need a spectrum analyzer too ensure its not splattering other bands.

You can add output filter cans to transmitters that eliminate everything except the frequency you need however you need a tracking generator to set up the filters but those have come down in price for the Chinese units. If you are passing only your frequency you are good to go. If you want to use in an urban environment one will need to add a transmitter circulator an appropriate dummy load before the filter cans. Any stray RF that gets past the filters and tries to get back to the transmitter, will be shunted to a dummy load. This helps prevent intermodulation when an external signal makes it past the filters and gets into the transmitter creating harmonic frequencies which might fall on most any other frequencies including public safety and business frequencies. Inter mod gets many burned by regulatory agencies when their signals wind up in the wrong place.

Nice set up...

would like to see you build a DIY low pass filter for stuff like this. would like to see your take on one.. hope you consider this. ; )

Good idea, I will give it a try.

Brilliant , been looking for a decent FM transmitter that i can run off 18v makita batteries using the makita usb adapter . the Belkin tunecast 2 that i'm using has a short range even with an aerial mod , just ordered the DSP FLL FM transmitter and hoping this will be the answer 👍

Interesting addition...

Thanks that was great!

Thank you for the vid ! I have a question, what kind of antenna should I hook up to the RF out side ? Is there a certain type, maybe a name ?

can you do a video on calculating filter networks?

Be great if you can show us how to make an antenna as the subject of an upcoming video.

Gonna build that to 😁

I'm quite ignorant about electronics, but my question is if any of this could be used to build a very powerful Bluetooth transmitter. Thanks for the video!

I checked the link you have listed, only see a 430+ MHz transmitter listed. Nice, how does one change frequencies on that unit? If frequency agile by user might be interested. Do you have a source for the FM and power amp module?

I have a question, does this transmitter works on a VHF signal to an old television? I have a collection of televisions and would like a strong signal to reach everywhere in the house.

I hope u still in good health.you back too long time later ,from the beginning of the Chanel you still same :)

Good Experiment

Friend, could you help me with the description of the U2 component in the circuit, please? Because mine burned this transistor when I changed the frequency on my nwdz rf pa v2.0 and I wanted to fix the problem. Is there anything else I can replace?

Considering that in the end you connected your transmitter to the amplifier output (11:08), I guess your next video will be about how to run an amplifier in reverse in order to use it as an attenuator ;-) Is the designation of U1 and U2 readable or was it sanded off? It would be interesting to know the types.

@@mw10259 you probably blew the output transistor. Bad coax, or bad antenna is the reason. Replace the blown transistor. It should be rd15hvf1 i guess. Don't buy from china or (and) with low prices. Minimum 10$ for 1 transistor or you will get fakes. Use RG58 for lengths under 5 meter. Use low loss coax for lengths > than 5 meter such as rg213/214/lmr400. . Don't use 75ohm coax, it will blow your transistor again. Be aware that blown RF mosfets shows as working on most transistor testers. Check your coax (shield and center conductor) for open/short circuit. Check that the antenna is rated for the power you use, is 50ohm and is not damaged in any way. And get a swr meter to check your swr. Over 2.0:1 swr is bad. 1.50 is good. Under 1.50 is perferct. Hope it helped you

Im need one like this for my radio station is not super strong signal output im need the amplifier

Can this power amplifier board work for fm receiver too?

What is the range? I'm curious to built one, I want a 2km range and don't know where to start.

can u test the usb audio using OTG to phone? does it detect as usb audio device on android? thankyou. This will be more usefull, so u dont need to connect the line cable, power and audio signal came from the usb itself, using phone/pc as source

hi ,whats the consumption with 2w out ,withouth input signal ?

You always have to filter the output so as not to interfere everywhere.

which second i could listen to sound sample, please?

Question: At 11:34 it shows the rf out from the xtr going to the rf out of the 3w module. Shouldn't that be going to the rf in?

+100W TX, with very big antenna mast, very low loss coax(expensive as hell) etc... costs +10K$, or you can do it yourself but you will 100% end up being caught. 50 miles is too much i think, but its possible to make

When I walk arround in a 6 to 8 block circle, I easily can pick up my mussic from home... It's not powerful enough to over ride broadcast FM stations... But I'm amazed how my old anolog FM tuner s pick up off my cd player or smartphone.. I have no idea on the wattage, built in battery that charges with a type C cell ph charger.. I even had the idea of using two transmitters at the same time, and the range doubled to a insane range, but not very audible, as the feed back was bad, even at 20 feet distance from each other... Just a spliter cable from the head ph jack.. I'm using a empty FM frequency not in in use to stay anonymous with the neighbour's...

ive got a 50w fm amp i havent tested yet :P :D

Side note: The amplifier will get very hot, if it doesn't. it's broken. Just got it today, connected it to my power supply, it wasn't drawing any current. Fixed the capacitor that was out of place, and the board started smoking.

No filtering ! Add a low pass filter.

without 3 stages Low Pass Filter at the end it will kill airband communication in ~500km around. it's mean big problems 4 jammer-boys. nice setup but with LPF only. cheers

@@dazaro3 Well, stereo coders must have low pass filter 15 kHz in audio input. That is because FM Stereo multiplex uses 19 kHz pilot tone to start stereo decoding in a receiver. That pilot tone is 8-12 % of the maximal modulation sound. Thus it can be severely jammed by 19 kHz sounds in modulation (sound you want to transmitt). Try this simple solution: Use only 96 kbps MP3 sound files as their highest freqency does not go above 15 kHz. Even 128 kbps can sound good. If you want to transmitt sound from some studio, make simple RC 15 kHz filter, or use equaliser and press down all filters for frequencies above 15 kHz before transmitter input,....

Why didn't you put subtitles for all languages?

Those little transmitters sound nice to me but should not be amplified as they output unwanted frequencies including close to the wanted frequency. So a low pass filter wont get rid of those. This is what gets pirates a bad reputation.

Just worked it out, You must have got it wrong, with your 1.5 mile for 9mw, and using the rule, that it will take four times the power to double the transmission, you get 24 miles at just 2.3 watt, when it should be 80+ watts, 9mw will go about as far as your outside toilet, , ha :- Miles \ Power 1.5 = 9mw 3 = 36mw 6 = 144mw 12 = 576mw 24 = 2304mw

But i think there are many variables, the main 4 are, 1) the height of the antenna allowing a greater line of sight, 2) is the antenna directional, both transmit and recieve, 3) the sensitivity of the reciever, 4) atmospheric conditions, , the VHF 100mhz 3 meter band has very little skip, but i wont rule it out, cos with certain conditions like a high pressure, i remember the old analouge 471-847mhz UHF TV frequencys skipping, and even picking up scandinavian TV, , , ha

The RF amplifiers 3W are useless most of them. I imported two and none is good. It's a big scam.

Arduino project देखना हे आप से( HINDI) sir

ha, , , 1 1\2 mile on 9mw, is that even possible, , , Have you got a NASA radio telescope !!, , ,lol

Very bad idea. It be increase the range, but these tiny micro transmitters are not meant to be amplified because their signal output isn't very clean and will cause interference with all kinds of spurs and harmonics and wipe out other stations.
