Hi All, just joined this nice site, I am 18 yeras old and I live in Lancashire, England UK.
I have just started to get interested in Electronics and I want to make myself a Remote Controll Tester.
I made one up with a photo diode and 1 led, but it's range is very poor and the led is lit all the time.
Could someone please show me how to make a RC Tester up with a better transmiting range, I'd like to make one up using a bread board, what parts will I need and could someone please enclose a picture on how to make it on a bread board.
Thankyou jackplug.

That looks great ronv, I wish I had the know how on how to build this BUT I am a complete novice at the moment and I don't know how to follow circuit diagrams even just yet.
Thanks for the info, Jack (EnglandUK)
