I am looking for small synthetized modules that can transmit in VHF or UHF. I do not need tranceivers or a normal LPD already industrial friendly boxed radio. A PCB (printed circuit board) module is enough for me. Do not need pretty boxes :-). The final system is going to be a speacial kind of Beacon for RDF. Thanks Sena As a quick and easy to implement solution you will have difficulty beating the SR-214. Just key the transmitter and forget about the receiver. Use a PIC to emulate keystrokes. 10mW will get you around a mile with the attached antenna. Otherwise you are going to have to look at building designs from a handbook. ARRL UHF/Microwave Experimenters Manual ARRL UHF/Microwave Projects Manual Volumes 1 and 2 are a good starting point and should be available at the University Library otherwise they can be purchased from the RSGB VHF Communications also supply boards, partial and full kits for the projects published in their magazine.
