I believe the mixer has a differential input. The 100nF cap just shorts pin 2 of
the mixer to ground so that the input is single-ended. You can take that cap
out of the picture.
There are formulas for calculating the values of the rest components, based on the
assumption that the bandwidth of the matching network B < fo/10, where fo = center freq
of the circuit.

1. Calculate:
Qt = fo/B
C = 1/(2*pi*B*Rt)
L = 1/((2*pi*fo)^2*C)
N^2 = Rt/R2
2. Calculate:
Qp = sqrt(Qt^2/N^2 - 1)
3. C1 and C2 are given by:
C2 = Qp/(2*pi*fo*R2)
Cse = C2*(Qp^2+1)/Qp^2
C1 = Cse*C/(Cse - C)

Introduction
============
The Lunch Box is a VERY simple transmitter which can be handy for all sorts of
things. It is quite small and can easily be put in a number of places. I have
successfully used it for tapping fones, getting inside info, blackmail and
other such things. The possibilities are endless. I will also include the
plans for an equally small receiver for your newly made toy. Use it for just
about anything. You can also make the transmitter and receiver together in
one box and use it as a walkie talkie.
Materials you will need
=======================
(1) 9 volt battery with battery clip
(1) 25-mfd, 15 volt electrolytic capacitor
(2) .0047 mfd capacitors
(1) .022 mfd capacitor
(1) 51 pf capacitor
(1) 365 pf variable capacitor
(1) Transistor antenna coil
(1) 2N366 transistor
(1) 2N464 transistor
(1) 100k resistor
(1) 5.6k resistor
(1) 10k resistor
(1) 2meg potentiometer with SPST switch
Some good wire, solder, soldering iron, board to put it on, box (optional)
Schematic for The Lunch Box

Notes about the schematic
=========================
1. GND means ground
2. The GND near the switch and the GND by the 2meg potentiometer should be
connected.
3. Where you see: )(
()
)( it is the transistor antenna coil with 15 turns of
regular hook-up wire around it.
4. The middle of the loop on the left side (the left of "()") you should run
a wire down to the "+" which has nothing attached to it. There is a .0047
capacitor on the correct piece of wire.
5. For the microphone use a magnetic earphone (1k to 2k).
6. Where you see "[!]" is the antenna. Use about 8 feet of wire to broadcast
approx 300ft. Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulation says you can't
broadcast over 300 feet without a license. (Hahaha). Use more wire for an
antenna for longer distances. (Attach it to the black wire on the fone
line for about a 250 foot antenna!)
Operation of the Lunch Box
==========================
This transmitter will send the signals over the AM radio band. You use the
variable capacitor to adjust what freq. you want to use. Find a good unused
freq. down at the lower end of the scale and you're set. Use the 2 meg pot. to
adjust gain. Just fuck with it until you get what sounds good. The switch on
the 2meg is for turning the Lunch Box on and off. When everything is adjusted,
turn on an AM radio adjust it to where you think the signal is. Have a friend
say some shit thru the Box and tune in to it. That's all there is to it. The
plans for a simple receiver are shown below:
The Lunch Box receiver
======================
(1) 9 volt battery with battery clip
(1) 365 pf variable capacitor

(1) 1N38B diode

(1) 2N366 transistor
(1) SPST toggle switch
(1) 1k to 2k magnetic earphone

Closing statement
=================
This two devices can be built for under a total of $10.00. Not too bad. Using
these devices in illegal ways is your option. If you get caught, I accept NO
responsibility for your actions. This can be a lot of fun if used correctly.
Hook it up to the red wire (I think) on the fone line and it will send the
conversation over the air waves. If you have any problems or are confused,

The 100nF to ground is merely an AC short to ground so that the DC at pin 1 isn't shorted to ground through the inductor. It does not play a role in the transformer action. Again, the following is only true at or near resonace. First, the transformer voltage ratio is approximately n = ( 47 / (47 + 220) ) ==> 0.176 Thus the impedance ratio is n**2 ==> 0.031. So, the 1.5K at pin 1 will be transformed down to 1500*0.031 = 46ohms. That is close enough to 50 ohms for all practical purposes. Recall that I said earlier that the circuit must be resonant. The inductor is chosen to resonate the series capacitor network. 47pF in series with 220pF is 38.7pF. The resonant frequency of 38.7pF and 280nH is about 49MHz -- close enough again for practical purposes. There is also usually a few pF of stray capacitance an pin 1 which will lower the resonance some. Normally it would be included in the calculation. As a check, the loaded Q is calculated to be about 17 so the initial assumption of Q>10 holds and the approximations are valid. That's all there is to it!

Yes, me. It's very simple, when you are willing to use a xtal. Modulation can
be done via two BB405B's or similar devices.

Some circuits add another zener in series with the SCR allowing an
unprotected line to disconnect the protected lines when it is picked
up, since the voltage will fall below 8.2 volts and turn off the
SCR's. The other diode passes the negative ring voltage.

PHONE PATCH FOR HANDHELD RADIOS
This circuit was published in _73_ magazine ~10 years ago. I've built
lots of them. Push-to-talk circuit as shown works with most
handhelds, which key their transmitters when a dc path through the
microphone is completed. Base/mobile rigs use a separate push-to-talk
line.
