FM CRYSTAL TRANSMITTER

I did design a crystal FM transmitter using electret microphone at
3 Volts supply. I need help how to increase further the transmitted voice
signal. It is too soft on the receiver end. :(
 
Received amplitude is proportional to frequency deviation. If you are trying to directly modulate a crystal oscillator, you will never get enough deviation for reasonable received amplitude. Maybe **broken link removed** would be useful to you.
 
Thanks for your input. The link does not help much as I would like to
maintain the design with some minor modification. Any idea's to make
this things work?

Ruel
 
Try reducing the "Q" of the crystal to allow it to have a wider frequency swing. Depending on the oscillator circuit used, you may connect a resistor in series or parallel with the crystal.

However, the resistance value chosen might inhibit the circuit from oscillation so start with say a 1megaohm for a parallel connection or 100 ohm for series connection and adjust accordingly.

If you could show your design we may be able to help more.

Thanks.....Tony
