Making a radio transmitter from an old radio

[@stampedetrail2003]

When I was 8 years old I think there was a Popular Mechanics mag that had a procedure to turn your receiver into a transmitter. I followed step by step and totally failed and eventually gave up. Nice to know that all those years later it was actually possible, and a very handy skill to have.

Super regenerative circuit can be radio receiver and can also be the transmitter 😊 well done

Make an amplifier out of any radio: input the audio signal one end to ground, the other onto one of the legs of the Volume potentiometer! Great for guitar because it often creates fuzz or distortion effects :)

[@EYEONEVENTS]

i know that and i experienced this before and it worked perfectly .. any analog radio is a receiver and transmitter at the same time

[@supremeleader5516]

Can u explain sir

[@OOOO-wj2xt]

Please help me Should I connect the antenna coming out of the radio to the negative terminal? I also connect the negative audio terminal to the same negative terminal?

[@jemussi7842]

Thanks for the video. I thought this must be possible and you confirmed it. Was just wondering, do you cut through the coil completely or just the enamel/insulation and which end? Many thanks.

I did this in 1979 .and GPO done me £400 fine

gpo is gay

[@aboodhassan3078]

can you please make a new video which explain how you do it

[@highplainsdrifter8518]

abood hassan - I agree. The "making" part should be where this gentleman is actually performing the construction of the project. If I had the knowledge of electronics I would certainly be posting a "how to " video to show how it's done.

This is great! - As I understand it then - I need a 3.5 stereo audio jack plug with 3 wires on it. Connect the ground wire to a good earth on the radio and join the other 2 wires together and connect them both to any side of the cut coil. Is that correct? I am off to find an old FM radio. Lol!

Did It work?

This is a great idea !

Only if the professor knew this on Gilligan's Island.

[@uwuweewee]

It wasn't real, just a fictional tv show

[@jamesmccloskey9215]

wow...what sort of range would this transmit to. ...exellent.

[@HobkinBoi]

James Mc Closkey I would guess but probably around your house. Might be more or less, depending on your board.

[@nassorsalum4472]

How long can transmitt

[@androbolaareospace9602]

but i dont have coil close to the tuning capacitor there is just an big coil

[@pradsthaz]

Can you give me more details ?

[@jozsefacs2224]

Haha did this when i was 10 or something made a pirate radio from it 😂 was cool thing do experiment haha

[@JohnMwangi-v3n]

Send me the procedure
