What's new for November 4, 1998
  • The Anarchist revision 002. In addition a FAQ has started. Your questions, comments and suggestions are welcome to either myself or posted to The Forum.

What's new for November 3, 1998

  • The Anarchist is a success! While I forgot to put a counter on the page, the IRF510 Datasheet has been downloaded over 50 times so far.... so it's safe to say interest is pretty high. Due to this, I'm working on a supplement page that will contain construction notes, parts sources and the like, please post your contributions in The Forum for inclusion in this section. A PCB layout will soon be available, thanks to John Love.
  • Updated the links section with How to be a Radio Pirate, you really should check out this site. There is a goldmine of information there.
  • Just a reminder to submit your captions for the Crude Pirate Humor contest.

What's new for November 1, 1998

  • I've started work on the Antenna Section. There isn't much there so I'm asking for your links and articles and such.

What's new for October 31, 1998

  • Happy All Hallows Day and in honor of this Pirate Radio Holiday, the FRN is proud to present to you, The Anarchist. A 10 Watt Solid State Crystal Controlled Transmitter that operates on Shortwave and Mediumwave. The designs are courtesy of Radio Anarchy. You can obtain tech support and help by posting your questions in The Forum..... Now get busy and build one!
  • The Grenade Documentation Project has stalled out. No more contributions of information have been forthcoming. I'm still looking to get my hands on a unit for reverse engineering, so until then, hang tight and pray your Grenade doesn't "Blow Up".

What's New for September 21, 1998

  • Ever try to figure out how to feed a Tape Deck, CD Player or mixer that has a line level output into a transmitter's microphone input? Well look no further, the ultimate interface can be had by clicking here.
  • I'm teaching myself C++, well at least with some help from the book "Borland C++ Builder for Dummies". Already written my first program that does nothing useful.... Who knows where this will lead, a high paying job, esteem........ nah!
  • Another 40 Meter Transmitter is here! This one is solid state, does all the modes, and is a pretty fancy unit. You'll need Visio Pro to view the schematics however. Download the package of schematics by clicking here.

What's New for September 17, 1998

  • Made some updates and corrections to the Grenade Schematics. You can download the latest version here.
