Amateur Radio Antenna Analyzer Kit by VK5JST

Purchasing an antenna analyzer can be very expensive. Analyzers range in price from $300 up to $10,000 or more. Come on folks, this is a hobby here. I wish I had that much money to spend on ham radio. Thankfully there is an antenna analyzer kit put out by a ham radio club in Australia that is wonderful. It's the VK5JST AERIAL ANALYSER designed by Jim. (See notes at the end of this article for how to order and contact the ham radio club)

500 mW FM transmitter circuit - A fun to build 500 milli-watt fm transmitter circuit

Are you looking for a somewhat difficult FM transmitter to build. This one might be right up your alley. This is a 500 MW FM transmitter. While 500 MW doesn't sound like a lot of power, that is a good deal more than most of the FM transmitters listed on this site. I've listed the details at the end of this article. Before building, check your building checklist, do you have:

How to use a breadboard to prototype electronic circuits

Using a breadboard to prototype electronic circuits can save you a lot of time. Breadboards are small plastic boards with strips of metal in the bottom of them which allow you to build circuits on top of them.

I purchased several breadboard kits from radio shack. I purchased a small one and then decided to get a larger one that had a power post on it. When you purchase a breadboard, also purchase the breadboard jumper kit which includes numerous small peices of jumper wires so that you can build circuits.

Low Power FM transmitter - 2 transistor FM transmitter

This is a low power 2 transistor fm transmitter. It is not the best quality transmitter but doesn't take too long to build and doesn't have too many parts. If you would like a better fm transmitter, then look for one of the more complext ones listed here.

This fm transmitter takes about 20 parts and is powered by a 9 volt battery. It can be affected by the electricity in a person's body, so that being said, this does not make for a good personnel microphone or bugging device.
