"1 kHz Sine Wave" topped the pop charts

I love when I get into my car and can really crank my favorite sine wave.

I still know your old setup. That function generator, the oscilloscope and the variac sends me back to those days. Time runs so fast

How is using an FM transmitter board, to transmit FM, a 'hack'?

[ikannunaplays]

Most bluetooth modules can be used to recieve and transmit FM signals. HTC had for a long time an app they made to take advantage of this, but not the transmit part, but a third party app developer made the transmitter app that could be used on a rooted device, and the radio functionality worked great as long as you had 3.5mm headphones plugged in to act as the antenna, even able to pause and record live radio feed. The last phone I believe they shipped the FM Radio app with was the M10.

It would be cool if GS could showcase taking advantage of a Bluetooth module in this way.

this was the first electronic project I ever did. When I was 6 yrs old I bought the pcb and components from Radio Shack. Great intro to electronics.

I once built an FM transmitter with only 8-9 parts. It works on a 9v battery and has a kind of good range and audio quality for its size

My car doesn't have bluetooth. Luckily I found an adapter that does exactly what you showed. It takes an audio signal (in my case bluetooth) and converts it to FM.

In the UK you could get fined for running a pirate radio station without a license! 😄

Man, I used to love 1KHz Sine Wave! Such a classic.

[labiadh_chokri]

That 1 kHz sound remember me of old test pattern used in analog TV station before beginning transmission this pattern was used by repair men to adjust geometry and focus.

_1 kHz Sine Wave gives off the vibe of SpongeBob’s secret favorite TV channel._

How is this a hack?!? Its literally doing the job these FM transmitters are made to do!

[technorunner]

Can you imagine, just someone who is nearby happens to also be on the same frequency. Probably would think the aliens are finally communicating

[RC-nqmg]

I want a nice high qualty AM kit for my vintage radios.

[Alex]

Wow 1KHz sine wave is a great song!! I’ll listen to it every day!

[scott]

My favorite song is also 1khz sine wave!

[oooo]

1khz sine wave still sounds better than most music playing on the radio nowadays

I love the late 70's military look radios 👍😆

That 3 dollar trasmitter sounds like a 1 dollar transmitter
