27MHz AM Transmitter Circuit for hobbyists
The 27MHz frequency band has long been a favorite among electronics enthusiasts and amateur radio operators. This citizen’s band frequency offers excellent propagation characteristics and serves as an ideal starting point for understanding amplitude modulation (AM) transmission principles. Today, we’ll explore a well-designed 27MHz AM transmitter circuit that demonstrates classic RF engineering concepts while remaining accessible to hobbyists
How to Build a 3-Watt AM Radio Transmitter
There is something magical about hearing your own voice or music coming through a vintage tube radio from across the room—or across the neighborhood. While many low-power “flea” transmitters struggle with range, this 3-Watt AM monster brings some real “punch” to the Medium Wave band.
In this project, we’re stepping up the power. Using the classic BD139 transistor and a rock-steady crystal oscillator, we’ll build a transmitter that balances simplicity with performance. Whether you’re a Part 15 enthusiast or just want to experiment with AM modulation, this circuit is the perfect way to become your own local broadcaster. Let’s get on the air!
