Supplies You Will Need
• Veronica 1 watt PLL transmitter
• 40 watt RF Amp (to boost your FM signal)
• Limiter
• Meter
• Filter
• RG8 50 ohm low loss coax (about 50 feet with connectors)
• Some tuning tools (can be purchased at Radio Shack)
Purchase a good filter to help alter station sounds that might
tip off a visit from the Feds. The height of an antenna will add
lots of watts so Comet is strongly recommended. The location of
the antenna will determine the strength/distance of the radio
signal.
Depending upon your needs the studio portion is up to you. The
basic pirate DJ set-up is two turntables, a mixer, a mic, and
a tape deck (or two). If all you have is one deck, don't sweat
it. Everything will still function. Whatever you've decided it
is recommended to bridge your music source to the transmitter
with a compressor on the output of your audio. This helps stop
over-modulation which contributes to the signal slatter to adjacent
frequencies.
Although these directions may sound overwhelming, it really isn't
too difficult to put together. For more information on buying
any of these components over the Internet, or for further information
