This gadget is a low-power TV Transmitter for a video enthusiast. The TV transmitter can transmit a signal from a VCR to any TV in a home or backyard or even retransmit cable TV for your own private viewing. Videotapes can be dubbed from one VCR to another without a cable connecting the two machines together.

This TV transmitter can be used in surveillance for monitoring a particular location. You can build the TV Transmitter for less than $30 in one evening! The tv transmitter kit is available from the source given in the Parts List. Nevertheless, we present enough information here to build the TV Transmitter from scratch.
The TV Transmitter that combines line-level audio and video signals, can transmits the resulting signal up to 300 feet. The circuit can be powered from a 9- volt battery. It is suggested that a 12-volt DC supply during be used during the alignment procedure. This would insure maximum transmission range and best possible image.
Theres's no special equipment required for aligning the TV Transmitter. You can do it with a very simple procedure. The Transmitter's output can be tuned to be received on any TV channel from 2 to 6. The range of channels is wide enough so that the unit will not interfere with other TV viewers who are nearby. To comply with FCC rules, it is mandatory the nearby TV viewers are not disturbed by the transmission. If your activities interfere with the reception from a licensed station, regardless of the reason, you must shut down your unit.
