Building a super spy bug transmitter
Many thanks to talkingelectronics.In this video we are showing you how to make a very small home made FM transmitter Bug using a single transistor and with a transmission range of 200 meters. This FM transmitter Bug is very easy to build. The size of the circuit board is ONLY 22mm x 10mm. I design the circuit board layout using Pain shop pro X2 ,it takes me 4 hours to get the design right ,i want a very small PCB. To make the PCB i will be using the toner transfer method and Ferric Chloride. Parts used: Home made PCB 2n3904 transistor 4.7p ceramic capacitor 1n ceramic capacitor 22n axial ceramic capacitor 1 – 5p to 30p air trimmer 360R resistor 4.7K resistor 10mm Mic 35cm antenna Battery Plug Some solder 19mm heatshrink Total cost just 90p.

@gratisimages try to turn the tiny cross screw in the trimmer capacitor 5-2-30pF and use your fm reciever as a monitor on what freq it fit. sometimes it bounce in to some other freq like am but its not that common.

@kukke5 only laser got tonner right? and has the ability to transfer by heat..
@kukke5 only laser got toner.
Darren, great video. step-by-step. simple and very few items to use. you are the man. great job. none of those videos match this. thumbs up. one are those, micro-parts that you’re using?
RAD!!!!!
what printer did you use? Laser?
How long does a 9V battery last? Let’s say you broadcast on a frequency used by a national radio station.. What are you going to receive if you have 10 meters between?
es malo si le conecte una pila de 9volts a este circuito?
hola ya ki hice pero no me funciono.
I notice you use a 9 volt battery, but the schematics says 3 volt. Why is that?
@dazaro3 can u please help i get no freq
please help no freq
please help me i have done what u did but get disturbernce in the signal
hey can you please send me the image you used to make ur pcb????? and can you sell me a kit whit all the electronic componets you used in this project??? i wil pay what u want.. ty
Thank you for your answer,realy!!!
guys i need help!
i’ve just finished doing this spy bug but i cant get any frequency from the spybug and im using a portable radio ..what’s the best solution?HELP!!!
@bubeskm
Any 22nF or 0.022uF will do the job just fine .Type 22nf or 0.022uF on Ebay and you will see the type you need.Upto 100V will be ok.
dazaro please for ansver.like I said before,I can`t find an axial capacitor nowere.Can you tell me if you now what kind of ceramik capacitor and value I can use,because with 22n ceramic cap.doesn`t work.I have the other parts.Please for ansver.
@dazaro3
Yes I know i did that , I will try to make again.
@goodpaste
Make sure you have the 2n3904 the right way ,because the emitter and collector pins are different on the 2n3904,look at the data sheets on google
I made but does not work, I do not know why, the only thing I used is different from you bc547, not 2n3904 … : (
Help if you can
sorry if something is spelled wrong
what does 90p mean?
Excellent.
i like it.
for what 4.7pf capacitor (beside the transistor)?
please tell me : )
@geeflyboy
Who the fuck gives a flying fuck about the mother fucking FCC? Unless you’re hijacking some important television broadcast or satellite communication, no one is going to care. DEAL WITH IT.
whats the name of first song?
mine didnt have the black box u speaking about, i just hooked up a longer antenna to the blue wire and i got it to broadcast far enough to reach the neigbors
mine is a lil different it seems…
gonna search tomorrow how it works with mine
Hey Dude
That white wire that you used for antena; is it anything special because I could swear I have seen it hanging out of that Ipod? Or is just a regular wire from some cord or cable?
Thanks for the video.
@geeflyboy Yes, but the FCC doesn’t care about someone extending the range of an FM transmitter by 100 feet (that’s what I got on mine). They really only care if someone is BROADCASTING over several miles without authorization.
what kind of wire do you use for antenna boost? can it be any?
how about just taking out the resistor in place and replacing it with a copper or aluminium wire?
better still solder in a telescopic antenna!
lol … lets play some tetris mother fucker ahahah
would like to see the range of that thing. I’m trying to cover all the stereos in my house with one signal.
could i just solder a good sized wire to that black box and coil it up inside for a good signal? and what are the “limits” of broadcasting untill the FCC hunts u down?
-Tyler
Thanks for the video. I pulled my Tunecaster out of the garbage when I saw this video. I replaced the 3.5mm audio cable and applied the antenna mod. Thanks.
LMFAO Superglue
thank you so much!
u could of unsoldered the black box then soldered the 2 points the black box wires went with a little bit of wire therefore using the antenna already it (would look standard to) there what type of range does it have now ??
lol, the FCC would not own you for that. Never mind even detect you……
Does this affect battery power? I mean.. will more power go to transmitting the signal?
If you wanna talk about fighting the FCC, what I would do is just say NO to radio, PERIOD. Because we got on-demand media now, and its the wave of the future.
Metropolitan radio broadcast towers put strain on the power grid, but servers for on-demand media relax the power grid during non-peak hours. audio amplifiers would lost $5~$10 less if the radio feature and unreliable mechanical optical disc player features were omitted,
Just say NO to radio, and say YES to YouTube!
YOUTUBE 4 LIFE
Right up there with duck tape! xD
superglueded!
))))
I break the law every time I go outside and start my truck
AMEN!
fuck the fcc
You can get a similar result without having to solder by using a 1 metre audio extension lead between the transmitter and your iPod..
I just keep transmitters made as is. I don’t want to get owned by the FCC
