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..

    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?

  8. MrDjosser says:

    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?

  9. pontifarro says:

    es malo si le conecte una pila de 9volts a este circuito?

  10. pontifarro says:

    hola ya ki hice pero no me funciono.

  11. Capcanister says:

    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

  14. colinseven1 says:

    please help me i have done what u did but get disturbernce in the signal

  15. iHectbp says:

    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

  16. bubeskm says:

    Thank you for your answer,realy!!!

  17. gratisimages says:

    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!!!

  18. dazaro3 says:

    @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.

  19. bubeskm says:

    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.

  20. goodpaste says:

    @dazaro3

    Yes I know i did that , I will try to make again.

  21. dazaro3 says:

    @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

  22. goodpaste says:

    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

  23. turboxshadow says:

    what does 90p mean?

  24. picaticatara says:

    Excellent.

  25. rendygaul says:

    i like it.

    for what 4.7pf capacitor (beside the transistor)?
    please tell me : )

  26. crazysmoky1 says:

    @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.

  27. soopy46 says:

    whats the name of first song?

  28. MATILLEGE says:

    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

  29. MATILLEGE says:

    mine is a lil different it seems…
    gonna search tomorrow how it works with mine

  30. BOBSTERXXXX says:

    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.

  31. IrwinEffect says:

    @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.

  32. Roosterbones27 says:

    what kind of wire do you use for antenna boost? can it be any?

  33. blockport says:

    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!

  34. Roosterbones27 says:

    lol … lets play some tetris mother fucker ahahah

  35. kylelastname says:

    would like to see the range of that thing. I’m trying to cover all the stereos in my house with one signal.

  36. AGlove1296 says:

    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?

  37. Distriived says:

    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. :D

  38. Distriived says:

    LMFAO Superglue :)

  39. PatrezzNM says:

    thank you so much! :)

  40. mdmb1 says:

    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 ??

  41. CmdrTobs says:

    lol, the FCC would not own you for that. Never mind even detect you……

  42. Natovr7 says:

    Does this affect battery power? I mean.. will more power go to transmitting the signal?

  43. SamuraiClinton says:

    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!

    I break the law every time I go outside and start my truck ;)

  47. CRASH1224 says:

    AMEN!

  48. Vipmaxp says:

    fuck the fcc

  49. Bluenile38 says:

    You can get a similar result without having to solder by using a 1 metre audio extension lead between the transmitter and your iPod..

  50. jackwolf131 says:

    I just keep transmitters made as is. I don’t want to get owned by the FCC
