Description
Now that the FCC has changed the laws governing pirate radio and video stations, more and more people across the country are starting
broadcasts from their homes. Of course transmitting equipment is very expensive, but now you can build your own transmitters for a fraction
of the cost of purchasing. By reading about and building the over thirty projects in Pirate Radio and Video, you can construct your own
station with a minimum investment for maximum learning. With projects for UHF, VHF, AM and FM transmitters, this book covers the gamut
of popular bands and outputs. Not only will you learn how to build your own transmitters, but also how to troubleshoot problems, test
outcomes and even synthesize several types of equipment into a powerful and unique system.
Written with the electronics hobbyist in
mind, each project includes basic diagrams, complete instructions as well as advice on how to make each project work best for you. The
list of projects includes over several different FM radio transmitters, AM radio transmitters, microwave transmitters, shortwave transmitters,
UHF video transmitters, VHF video transmitters as well as nearly a dozen special projects for test equipment and system set-ups. If you
are interested in setting up your own radio or television broadcasting system, you will need a copy of this book to do it!
Audience:
Electronic hobbyists, amateur broadcasters, and students.
