Someone should Modernize the 1W AM Transmitter for Old Radios

[jhalphen]

Hi to all,
Hi Toxcrusadr,

A choice of low power AM Tx made in England.
Models are available with 10KHz USA channel spacing (9KHz in Europe)

Also the SSTRAN AMT-3000. Not produced since 2013, but was highly appreciated. Search E-Bay for second hand units.
The web site & product specs are still around :

Want to build one yourself? - see the 386 AM Tx by MacroHenry on ARF "Homebrew" forum. Read all 9 pages for full description.
Uses a LM386 audio IC for modulation.

Audio sources:
popular : remodulating a FM station to AM Tx, streaming from i-Pod, computer, MP3 player. BlueTooth from phone. OTR (Old Time Radio) stations from the internet. Big Band music, oldies, comedy shows (Amos & Andy, etc.).

Best Regards

A example for more hardcore DIYer, all tube model, for people wanting to use tubes for this solution.

BTW, for modernizing it, a generic Bluetooth receiver***, connected to it's input (for all only-analogue inputs), will modernize. Is possible to put receivers in same case, but eventually is needed a sceening between the "modern" part and the RF part.

***some of these receivers have pen-drive connections that serves also as a DAC, for using with PC, but searching is needed.
