Hello again all, i come with another question.
Ok, the FM bug was constructed and the LED shines bright. I can't locate the signal with my standard FM radio. How can I pin point the transmitter's frequency or if it is even transmitting at all? Does the LED indicate whether or not the circuit is transmitting? :) :) Novice can learn too ;) |

Other then the process of elimination, there's not a lot you can do. A scanner might help you sweep the frequencies.

Hello Aaron,
I apreciate the quick response and must say that I admire your craft.
Is there a cheap alternative to an oscilloscope to determine that the radio is transmitting?
P.S. I notice every that GMRS/FRS radios sold everywhere have jumped in range from 5 miles to 10 miles and beyond. The units are even getting smaller. Is the power just amplified or are there mods you can inflict on a standard GMRS/FRS handhelds to up the out range.Thank you!

In the lower FM band is where you should find it. The only reliable way to actually prove it is transmitting is with a scope. The LED just indicates power.
