A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
I've been tossing around the idea of building a FCC part 15 AM
transmitter, and was wondering if it is possible to use a PIC
Microcontroler as the Freq. Osc.
This would allow me to be able to program the frq to be used and would
be quit easy to interface to most existing circuits.
anyone have any thoughs on this and how it would be done

Hi Dave,
How about using and Oscillator IC? We use them for 144Mhz transmitters used
in "fox hunts"

ICS525 osc w/PLL
They probably have a chip the "AM" band.
