PCB Layout 

About The Circuit: These is the exact description of Art Swan, the circuit's Author, "This miniature transmitter is easy to construct and can be picked up on any standard FM receiver. It has a range of up to 1/4 mile or more. It's great for room monitoring, baby listening and nature research"

-Thanks to ASCAS

Download the PDF file then print it with your printer's standard setting then cut the printed layout. Be careful when cutting, the tip of my thumb got sliced by the sharp cutter blade.

TIP:HERE IS A SIMPLE TUTORIAL FOR MAKING A PCB

-thanks to jvapda

READY WITH PCB NOW SOLDER THE COMPONENTS

__________________________

CONSTRUCTING A COIL!

Strip a solid gauge #18 wire. Use a 1/4" bolt then turn the wire 7-8 times

(Strip the coil on the simple screw and remove it,it would form a shape of a coil)

__________________________

CONSTRUCTING A ANTENNA

Solder a hook-up wire to the antenna pin, it's located on the 2nd transistor's collector pin. Use a maximum of 8 inches an a minimum of 5 inches

(Use a wire and solder it on a PCB it would act as an simple antenna)

___________________________

YOU WOULD NEED A BATTERY CLIP TO CONNECT A BATTERY TO YOUR PCB,USE A SIMPLE DRY DEAD BATTERY AND PLUCK THE UPPER HEAD OFF AND USE IT AS AN CLIP 

___________________________

GLUE THE BATTERY CLIP AND PCB WITH THE A SIMPLE 9volt BATTERY

USE HOT GLUE

___________________________________________________

TURN THE TRIMMER CAPACITOR WITH A SCREW DRIVER UNTIL YOU GET A WHITE NOISE IN YOUR FM RADIO 

KEEP TUNING IT AND YEAH YOUR BUG IS READY AND CAN WORK THROUGH SEVERAL METERS!!! :D

Q:Breadboard Version?

A:YES

I WOULD BE POSTING IT IN ANOTHER POST
