Description: This is a straightforward high-quality PLL FM transmitter with a typical output power of 5 W and a no-tune design. It features RDS/SCA input and audio/MPX input with optional pre-emphasis and can operate with or without a stereo encoder. Tuning across the FM band is facilitated by two buttons that control a dual-speed PLL.
The transmitter can function without an LCD display. Some experience in building similar devices is highly recommended. The supply voltage ranges from 11 to 13.8 V (either stabilized or from a battery), with a maximum supply current of 1.2 A. The standard frequency range is from 87.5 to 107.9 MHz. The audio/MPX input sensitivity is 2 V pp for a frequency deviation of 75 kHz, and the RDS/SCA input sensitivity is 0.2 V pp for a frequency deviation of 7.5 kHz. The board dimensions are 109 x 54 mm.
