What you will need:
(the number in brackets is a reference /> number which matches the schematic. The
number in paranthesise is the amount of
the
part needed.)

[1] (1) 1n34a crystal diode
[2] (2) 2n107 audio transistors

(ge-2 or equivalent)
[3] (1) 3k ohm variable resistor
[4] (2) 560 ohm 1/2 watt
resistor
[5] (1) 15k ohm variable resistor
[6] (1) 500 ohm variable resistor
[7]
(1) .002 Uf capacitor
[8] (1) 1.5 Volt aa battery
[9] (1) aa battery holder
[10]
(1) 0-300 microammeter
(lafayette 99-g-5028 or
equivalent)
[11] (1) 10 millihenry
choke (ohmite
z-50)
[12] (1) single-pole single-throw
(spst) toggle switch

[13] (1) project box (radio shack)
[14] (1) antenna (either from an old
transistor radio
or a stiff
piece of wire will also work)
[15] (1) 2000 ohm headset (or a mini-

ature earphone like most tv
and radios use)

the parts can be purchased from
radio
shack for less than $20. This is a
very good high-gain meter-type bug

detector. It has a crystal diode with
2 amplification stages to boost the
power of the
meter. This produces a
broad-band, battery-powered, receiver
that can sense
radio-frequency transm-
itters up to a mile away. Unfortun-
ately, it will also pick up
a commerc-
ial am or fm station up to 3 miles
away….

"my name is
bond, james bond."

My next gadget is what is called a
bumpbeeper. It
attaches to the under
side of a car with magnets and then
sends out a signal that can be
heard on
a radio.

Parts list: () = diagram #

(1) 2n635a
transistor
(2) 4.3K 1/2 watt resistor
(3) 1 meg potentiometer
(4) 10k 1/2 watt
resistor
(5) 50pf capacitor
(6) 365pf variable capacitor
(7) .005Uf capacitor /> (8) .01Uf capacitor
(9) ferrite loopstick (from a crys-
(10) coil [see text] tal
radio)
(11) single-pole single-throw switch
(12) 9 volt battery
(opt.) Battery
clip & case
(13) antenna

this device is a constant tone signal-
ling
source that can be tuned to any
clear spot below 1000 khz. If magnets
are attached to
the case, it can quick-
ly be installed under the persons car.
(9) Is a standard ferrite
loopstick tha
t can be purchased at radio shack.
(10) Is simply 12 turns of plastic
cov-
ered hookup wire wound over (9).

to tune the
transmitter:

1)pick an empty spot on the am car
radio below 1000 khz.

2)Switch on the transmitter with the
spst switch.
3)Tune the 365 variable capacitor /> slowly until a shrill note can be
heard from the car radio.
4)The pitch of the note
is adjustable
by turning the 1 meg potentiometer

resistantly,
