well, i know a _little_ about spread spectrum.... it seems like the signal is spread over a WIDE (about 6mHz) area, with little signal stregnth throughout. Therefore, a powerful (narrow) signal doesn't bother the phone. Some hams are screwing around with this in the 900mhz band, mostly for data I think... but anyways, see if you can find the ham SS websites, as they would probably have info for building (i dont think you can buy em even) a 900mhz SS phone transciever. Unless you REALLY want to monitor somebody, it's a waste of time and effort until commercial SS receivers come out onto the market.

PhatFone-
If you're going to replace a 9-volt battery with a 9-volt adapter...make sure the power it puts out is CLEAN!! Otherwise, you will have a "buzz" or "hum" in your audio from the leftover AC that isn't fully filtered out of the DC output voltage.

And trying to use two or more antennas for transmitting FM won't work. Because of the FM "quieting effect", the transmitter that is closer to the receiver, or that delivers a stronger signal to the receiver will block out the weaker signal, (making it "quiet"). This is similar to the way that large state-wide paging systems work, but that's another subject......

2. if possible, get the Icom T8-A. it's a tribander, meaning that if you can find the mod for it, you can program it to talk onto cordless frequencies... i think you can pick up the ft-50 for about 275 nowadays and the t8a for about 350.... try to grab the t8a.... but the ft-50 will still do the job... and the ft-50 can be modded for cell coverage too...... difficult choice :)

ok.. some crazy shit comin in here......
1. rca jacks and microphones. your little electric mic (the mic that the fm bug kit is designed for) probably isn't at the same impedance that RCA is (10k ohm, i think?) so jury-rigging an RCA jack to your FM bug would probably not work well...... if you want to try it, go ahead, experimentation is great... but I'd recommend against it. As far as using the 9vdc wall adapter, go for it.... batteries are expensive, batteries die, and they're not great for the environment. I'd still keep a 9v batt jack-thingy on there just incase you have to broadcast somewhere else... and if you are looking to get an actual FM broadcast transmitter, I'd go with an FRB kit. It's more expensive, but it puts out a good half-watt.... which is better than the ramsey kit.... and it also doesn't drift like the ramsey kit... Only downside to the FRB kit is that it's a hundred bucks or so, compared to the ramsey kit which goes for about 50 or so..... the ramsey will still do OK tho.. good luck, and avoid the fcc!!!

2. multiple antenna systems. my god, what a supreme bitch that would be. first, you would need to run coax (which isn't exactly cheap) to all of these antennas. second, you might have phasing problems between them (they might cause interference for each other, basically).... as far as throwing off the DF guys, it'd be futile... they would look around, see an antenna, and trace the coax back to the transmitter. it's a good idea in theory, but it'd be just about impossible to implement properly and effectively.

yeh, I'm in the middle of a town which total radius is about 2 1/2 miles, so I'm going to use a omni-directional verticle dipole antenna. I was planning on getting a RCA jack to subsitute for the low quality electrect mic. Then hook up my mixer to the transmitter. I was also thinking about scraping the 9 Volt battery for a AC jack so I could plug it in to the wall. Anyone think that that might work. The circut is meant to run on 9V, and my AC adapter is for 9 volts. Anyone know if this will work? I still don't know if this will work very well or not, but I got a good deal on the kit, so I figured I would try it. If not I guess I will get a Ramsey FM-10, or maybe one of Free Radio Berkley's kits. There is a pirate in town that uses a FRB kit and he gets real good coverage and sound quality.

FM bugs for broadcasting?? Bugs are meant for, well, bugging places, and not for broadcasting. If it had RCA line-level inputs I suppose you could use it... but for any serious use, you'd probably want to get a transmitter specifically designed for FM broadcasting as opposed to a simple bug-type unit. Also... hrm, thinking..... depending on your transmitting location in your town, you might want to consider using a directional antenna, such as a yagi or a quad or something.. .. . for example, I would want to use a directional antenna from home because I don't live in the main part of town..... of course if you were in the middle of town, you would want to use an omni.... thinking more.... Demographics. Consider the demographics of your area.... for example, if in one part of town a bunch of old people lived, and in a different part a younger/more liberal group lived, you might want to direct your signal towards those who would be more apt to listen to you (and less likely to call up the magical station wagons!).. but in the same sense, it's sorta like discrimination, because what if a potential listener wasn't in the right part of town?

PhatFone,
My friend got a little FM "bug" kit, and added a longer antenna, like you're going to do. The other thing he did was remove the two little watch batteries it used, and hooked up 2 "AA" alkalines. This may not sound like much, but having more current available to the transmitter that the larger batteries provided, made a difference in the distance the thing would transmit.

It's supposed to broadcast about a mile out in the open, and I am building a verticle dipole antenna to increase the range. I think I can make it work with a little modding, and in my city a mile is plenty.

Welp, looks like slick willy is letting our guys get blown away so he safely get his blowjobs.... but anyways.... that CB'er that found you was using a directional antenna (most likely a Yagi) to track you down.. directional antennas transmit and receive better in certain directions than others... so this dude just swung his antenna around until he found the spot where it was strongest, and the antenna just pointed in your direction. This stuff about CB'ers being able to use GPS to get a fix on received transmissions is total bullshit. Reasons:
1. Reflected signals. If the signal you are receiving is being reflected off of something (usually large metal objects or buildings), then trying to track the signal would only lead you to the reflecting object. That's not even considering propagation (skip).

2. Wattage. If I stand 2 miles away from you and talk with a handheld, and then go 10 miles away (in the same direction relative to you) you wouldn't be able to tell WHERE I was, only the direction I was coming from. In order to produce my exact location, you would need (at the very least) 2 people, in different locations with directional antennas who knew their exact coordinates. They could compare the directions that the signal was received from and get an (approximate) location by plotting their locations and RX'ed signal bearings onto a map. The ONLY way (that I know of) that a single person could determine exact location (through GPS) would be APRS (automatic position reporting system?) which is used by hams. APRS involves (among other things) basically a radio hooked up to a GPS unit, simply broadcasting "I'm at xx.xxxLON, xx.xxxLAT". DF, especially in the lower bands like that, is not entirely accurate and somewhat difficult to implement. Add a moving transmitter and it becomes almost impossible.

DATE - 12/17/98 02:37:46
FROM - Black Axe

Actually, there's a way around that. How you do it depends on your type of radio. One way is to (if your rig has this function) just listen on the input frequency and put the radio on tone decode mode. Use the input frequency because sometimes (cops are tricky here) they will use different tones coming into the repeater and going out. Or, just listen on the input and keep switching codes as they are talking, and when you suddenly hear them, you're on the right tone.
Yet another way is to take the audio from your radio and put it into your soundcard, and then use a program like WinTone to decode the tone. WinTone also decodes DTMF and does lots of other cool shit so it is good to have around anyways. I must agree with Informagnet on HRO's selling shit - I bought my FT-50 from them without a ham license. Just tell them that you've just passed your VE test and you are waiting for a callsign..... after all, they want your money. Also, try not to piss off the local hams by screwing around on their frequencies - they do (at least my local hams do) have equipment to track you down, if you are in a fixed location. If you're smart, get a magmount roof antenna for your radio, and drive around (or walk with a handheld) to confuse the hell out of them. Just never transmit from a fixed location.

He's Right.....The "hams" don't like unlicencensed people on their airwaves, and WILL turn you in...if they don't track you down first and tie your coax around your neck.

The problem with messing with the cops is that the repeaters the cops use only "key" if your transmitter has the right PL Tone. If you don't, you won't even break their squelch. But you could wait for another cop to key-up, break the squelch on the repeater, then key your radio and cause a bit of interference....
