Those that are all “omg, I built a leet circuit with more powerz” lack the skill & finess to build transmitters that are clean and that could avoid notice (by not trampling all over adjacent stations, for example). Honestly, by the time you’re capable of building a transmitter of sufficient power to break the rules and to do so with a clean signal that isn’t too wide or over-modulated (ie, to respect the technical standards), you’re smart/wise enough to not actually do so. But intentionally running at higher power levels than allowed, such as you discussed having done in the past, is just plain douche-y. Non-licensed FM transmitters (limited to a few microwatts) are more than enough to cover your home with tuneable audio… that’s the point of the circuit in this article, and using it doesn’t make you a pirate if you ensure that the output level and your antenna efficiency are sufficiently in check. ![]() The last thing we need is more pirate clowns intentionally muddying up the band. The radio spectrum is clogged with enough licensed crap that makes it difficult to tune what few listenable stations still exist. The FCC is just another under-paid, over-worked bureaucracy- they don’t have time to bust hobbyists and artists. Have fun, be polite and use common sense. I’m not encouraging anyone to broadcast illegally- I just want to ease anyone’s fears about playing with this kind of low power circuit. Of course none of us will ever get legitimate licenses, but that’s a small price to pay. There was eventually a police raid, equipment seizure and a few arrests after a new group took over the station and got very cocky and radical, but basically, if we stayed low key they didn’t go out of their way to haul us to jail or fine us. Our dealings with the FCC were mostly limited to knocks on the door from agents asking to inspect the equipment, a polite refusal to let them in and them leaving to get a warrant while we packed up the gear and went to the next available space. My experience was with a 24 hour pirate FM station with a broadcast radius of 3-4 miles. While the verbiage sounds scary, the ‘enforcement’ is pretty soft. ![]() I’m here in Florida, the pirate radio capitol of North America. Posted in Portable Audio Hacks, Radio Hacks Tagged FM broadcasting, fm transmitter Post navigation While its 10 component count is impressive, it can’t beat this 3 component FM transmitter we shared a year ago! Stick around after the break to see how to make your very own. In fact, it gives “floating ground” a whole new meaning! Besides being an extremely easy way to make a PCB without any fancy tools, it also makes you think about circuits in a different light. It’s unique in that instead of using traces it uses one copper PCB which is used for all ground connections, and then small islands of the same PCB glued on top to form nodes for the circuit to connect to. The method shown here is one of the easiest to build, and it’s called the Manhattan Style - the same method used when built his BITX radio. Originally designed by the Japanese multimedia artist, this simple FM transmitter can be built with only 10 components and about an hour of your time. Publishing type.Making your own FM radio is practically a rite of passage for hackers. Podcast is private and subscribers are managed by admins Private podcast email notifications enabled or disabled include=show&fields=title&fields=feed_url. You can also combine this with sparse fieldsets to request an Episode's related Show, but only return the Show's title and RSS Feed URL, for example. ![]() In your request you can specify include=show. For example, you may want to retrieve an Episode, but also include its parent Show resource. You can also return a resource's related resources in one single API request instead of multiuple requests. In your request you can specify fields=title&fields=media_url. ![]() Let's say you want to retrieve an Episode but only return the title and media_url. Sometimes you may wish to only have a handful of a resource's fields be returned from an API request, instead of the entire resource. We've included examples of these in some of our example requests and responses. Because our API conforms to the JSON:API spec, each endpoint also accepts extra parameters that can be helpful in certain scenarios: sparse fieldsets and including related resources.
