If I want to build a long range transmitter what should I be looking for?
Thanks

alot .

first the rx (n.f. and sensetivty)
the vswr of the ant.
your freq.
the high of the ant.( at low freq)
ex' ex'

Re: Range of Transmitter

Depends on many factors:

- Frequency used
- Antenna height (specially in vhf and up)
- transmitter power @ antenna
- antenna gain

just to say few...

Remember you have to take in account also receiver performances.
Take a look at friis formula.

Hope this help,
ciao

Range of Transmitter

Thanks a lot.
Is there any circuit available for building a long-range transmitter?

to use very long range transmiter u should work at freq 2-30 mHz.
use it at night
use as more power as u can.
use an anttena with high gain (u gona pay with diraction)

look for ham radio ciruits.

for ex. 600 watt with 4 elenent dipole, can make a transmith from usa to middle est ( if the Rx station have 6dB gain , and normal sensetive)

good luck

Can you direct me to such a circuit - one which is not very expensive and has few kms range ?Or is there a simpler way for 2-way communication in 5-10 km range?
 

Re: Range of Transmitter

First of all,
for 10 km or more... you may use also vhf and up.

It dependes on the path between you and the other station:
if there's a hill between both stations, then you can't use vhf.

On the other hand, HF will surely allow you to have a good
communications but big antennas are needed.

About the schematics:
search among radioamateurs web sites for their home brew equipments.
You will find informations also for the antennas.

Hope this helps.
