End-Product Description
This RF transmission and reception project provides a reliable means of direct communication. It has low power consumption and is designed to transmit radio waves over short distances. The user can use the AM system over one frequency, and the project also includes a direction-finding antenna which can be used to determine the location of a hidden transmitter. This could be especially useful in finding downed aircraft, and it can also serve many other similar functions. The device could also conceivably be used to eavesdrop on individuals.
