aditya Inductor coil is 18 SWG or 18 AWG ? Posted on January 18th 2016 | 3:29 am (http://www.electroschematics.com/5150/tiny-fm-radio/#comment1893308) Log in to Reply (http://www.electroschematics.com/wp-login.php? redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.electroschematics.com%2F5150%2Ftiny-fm-radio%2F)
AKINYELE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUY 18SWG AIRCORE COPPER INDUCTOR BUT I COULD NOT SEE TO BUY. I WANT TO MAKE ONE BUT I COULDNT GET COPPER WIRE OF THE EXACT DIAMETER(18 SWG = 1.219MM). THE DIAMETER I GOT ARE 1MM, 1.5MM, 2MM. CAN I USE 1MM OR 1.5MM?

Peter Pan For those using breadboard. They can cause all sorts of problem, e.g. stray capacitance, not working well with high frequency > 10mhz. http://www.electroschematics.com/5150/tiny-fm-radio/

Try on veroboard or home made pcb. Or buy a brand new high quality breadboard from trusty vendor. I bought many dirt cheap breadboards from ebay which make you troubleshoot circuits where the problem may actually lie in the breadboard.

Waqas. How to únd the pins of gang capacitor. I found gang capacitor which have no writing on it. I got the disturbances in the output but there is no voice in head phone. How can improve the quality ? I am using capacitor in IC pins (1,8).
