FM Free Radio / FM Pirates in the Netherlands.

« on: January 14, 2019, 1916 UTC »

Hello,

I found 2 pirates on the FM band last saturday. I wonder if they make it kinda legal here as one of them is broadcasting for 4 years straight. I would dream about making my own little radio station too, but I am newb into broadcasting and I don't know if my current transmitter (made from a Raspberry and an outdoor antenna) is useful for broadcasting music.. I would love to build a transmitter myself but I need help with it from someone who has experience in this kind of stuff. Bad part about the Raspberry is that it is low voltage and gets hot very quickly. Signal is unstable (I can even receive it on the shortwave bands!)

Any ideas for improving the setup? I would love to know more about broadcasting and building a nice transmitter myself.

Kind regards,
Telegrapher.

Hello all,

I recently came across an old AM radio on a dumb store for $4. I wonder if it's a rare piece. I can't really find anything about it on the web. And I need a manual for correcting the frequencies as I was testing the PCB and turned some coils to make sure all was still connected.. And it was.

The parts I have questions about are:
Is it a rare piece?
Is there a source where I can find the manual for it?
Misc info regarding everything I need to know about it. How to correct the tuning screws etc..

I hope someone here can help me out.

Just registered as a new member. So I like to say hello to all!
