QRP AM transmitter from AliExpress

A low power AM transmitter kit from AliExpress caught my interest. It was AU$30 and is crystal locked to 21MHz.

The board is good quality and went together easily.


Component values are marked on the board, which is handy because the supplied documentation is a bit different to the actual board. One ceramic capacitor and 4x 47uF electrolytic capacitors were missing but easily found in the junk box. There was a handful of extra small value components along for the ride.

It does work but sounds a bit rough.


I'll update this post at a later date with some measurements.
