FM BUG

T his low-cost cordless bug can transmit voice signals in FM band ( 88-108MHz ) up to about 250
meters. Which can be heard on any ordinary Fm radio. The rated power of the transmitter with
operating voltage of 3 volts is about 5mW. One of the most important features of this project is the
use of standard components. Since restrictions apply to FM transmitters in some countries, you will
have to find out the laws in your locality before commencing construction.
