Description: Power supply: 12-14 V stab., 100 mA. RF power: 400 mW. Impedance: 50-75 ohm. Frequency range: 87.5-108 MHz. Modulation: wideband FM. Connect the 6 V / 0.1 A bulb to the output and use R1 to tune the right frequency. Maybe you might stretch coils of the L1. Then use C14 and C15 to adjust the highest power (the highest light of the bulb). Then you can connect antenna and audio signal. Adjust R2 until the audio sounds as loud as the other stations. With good antenna (dipole placed outdoor and high) the transmitter has very good coverage range about 500 meters, the maximal coverage range is up to 4 km. More: Parts list

Antenna Power supply 3.5 mm jack CD player, computer 6 V / 0.1 A bulb
The circuit described operates as a wideband FM transmitter, utilizing a power supply of 12-14 V with a current rating of 100 mA. The transmitter is designed to deliver an RF power output of 400 mW, suitable for broadcasting in the frequency range of 87.5 to 108 MHz, which encompasses the FM radio band. The impedance level of this circuit is adaptable, allowing it to operate effectively within the range of 50 to 75 ohms.
The circuit incorporates a 6 V / 0.1 A bulb connected to the output, serving as a visual indicator of power output. The tuning process involves adjusting the variable resistor R1 to find the optimal frequency. The coil L1 can be fine-tuned by adjusting the number of turns, which influences the inductance and, consequently, the operating frequency. Capacitors C14 and C15 are trimmer capacitors used to maximize the output power, indicated by the brightness of the bulb.
The antenna connection is crucial for effective transmission, and it is recommended to use a dipole antenna placed outdoors at a height for optimal coverage. The circuit is capable of achieving a coverage range of approximately 500 meters under good conditions, with the potential for maximum coverage extending up to 4 kilometers.
The components list includes various capacitors, coils, resistors, and transistors, all chosen for their specific roles in the circuit. The capacitors range from ceramic to electrolytic types, with values selected for tuning and filtering purposes. The air-core coils are constructed from 0.7 mm copper wire, ensuring minimal losses and efficient RF performance.
Transistors T1, T2, and T3 serve as the active amplification elements in the circuit, with T1 being a BC547C, suitable for low-power applications, and T2 and T3 being BFR91A and BFR96, respectively, optimized for RF amplification. The circuit also includes a varicap diode (D1) for frequency modulation, allowing for dynamic tuning based on the input audio signal.
Overall, this circuit represents a compact and efficient design for a wideband FM transmitter, with careful consideration of component selection and circuit topology to achieve the desired performance characteristics.Power supply: 12-14 V stab., 100 mA.
