Thanks Audioguru.
Well, I just dont know how and where to start! I am a 'newbie' to this field. Sorry, I think I should have mentioned it earlier itself...
Anyway, these things would be useful when I take Electronics Engineering at my college.
Also, Audioguru, could you suggest a circuit that would be simple and easy to build for a beginner? i.e. What was the first circuit you had ever built?
I am thinking of building an AM receiver, the simplest I have seen so far. The version in my textbook says: Only, an antenna, a resistor, a capacitor, a diode, and a headphone are needed.
I have the schematic.
Also, apart from all these, I keep worrying whether it would work. Was your very first circuit successful? I know, that one has to keep trying all the time. But, Now, I just dont have that much time!
Anyway, Would the receiver be a good idea to start with?
Also, I would like to know: What means of communication is effective for long range communication? Say: Communicate to your friends who are living about 10 km away. Is InfraRed a good one? (I think IR wouldnt even come close! But I am just curious!)
Actually, I had planned the FM receiver so as to reduce my telephone costs, which are soaring up high, due to my frequent conversation with my friends. But, I gues, building a transmitter would cost even more with the batteries! But, as I had mentioned, I would rather use an eliminator.
Thanks Audioguru for the help!
And, please help me find an effective means of communication with my friends! Hey, any means by which I can speak country-country??? Lol
