Using hearsay as a source of specific manufacture specifications information is full of misinformation. Spec. sheets are just a click away.Trying to build a wireless mike for a guitar, not having much luck:
1. I have substituted MPS2222A tranistor for 2N2222. Is this ok for
this type of application? I was just guessing that the 2222 means they
are similar ;-)
2. How can you measure a coil's inductance? If you make the coil
yourself, can you be sure its "correct" somehow?
3. For testing, I have a 555 timer creating an a sound, that when
hooked up to a speaker sounds like a high pitched tone. at close range,
the tone is heard on FM radio, even without being hooked up to the
transmitter circuitry. Why is this? If the tone is audible, how are
radio waves in the FM band being produced? Is it ok to substitute such
a circuit for an electret mike, which will eventually be a feed from the
guitar or effects board?
4. How can I tell if I'm even getting RF waves out of my circuit? Can
an oscilliscope hooked up to the antenna tell me if i'm atleast getting
oscillation?
This is my first basic circuit that doesn't have led's or sound or
something to allow me troubleshoot and "see" what's happening. Any tips
on how to troubleshoot RF circuits like these?
Thanks
