Hi all,
I am having trouble finding a decent FM Tx design (I used to have a great one in kit form from Altronics, but they have stopped doing it). I need something that is very stable (going to be used in a car) that I will then feed into a small power amp. I would prefer Digital tuning, not worried about having to use a micro and lcd / keypad.
Why do I need to do this ? My Partner has a Peugeot 308 2006 model, this does not have a line in or MP3 cd support, so we use an Ipod. Due to some reason this stereo does not like low powered Tx's, everyone I have tried has lots of static coming through (seems when the AGC goes to max it is very noisy).
The Deck can not be swapped as it also controls the heads up display (all the trip functions (eg fuel consumption, fuel remaining rtc))
I am happy to buy a kit. I have tried a Jaycar Kit based on the Rohm BA1404 Tx chip, but the tuning is not that good (1.5turns on a crap former and crap slug, making it very sensitive to movement.)
So I am looking for something more stable and able to maybe put a bit more power out
or I will feed it into a small PA.
