Well, I got the chance.

Worked marvellously. I now have that same 1300 foot range I had before.

Yeah, big deal, I know, but this is big for me - first "properly working",
tunable, hard-soldered FM transmitter for me that can go farther than my

Only problem now is getting rid of the 60-cycle hum from my homebrew power
supply. Should be simple enough, and today I added the missing .1 uF
electrolytic capacitor to the power terminals (was missing, don't know why
I never put it in before). Still have the hum though.


Not surprising. You want something *much* higher in value (a couple of
thousand uF).
