The transmitter uses 2 MPSH10 (equiv BF494 or NTE229) transistors in a double-ended free-running voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at half the output frequency on each side and combined at L2, which is tuned to the 2nd harmonic of the VCO and covers the 88-108 MHz range. A standard 9 volt battery is used for power and fits inside the tin. The mono audio input circuit is totally passive with 70us pre-emphasis provided and the audio quality is great.
