150 mW CW Transmitter Circuit

A Schematic diagram of A 150 mW CW transmitter, Fixed value capacitors are disc ceramic , 50 V or greater , Resistors are 1/4 or 1/2 watt carbon film or carbon composition, C1 and C2 are feedback capacitors , C3 is a 10-100 pF ceramic or mica compression trimmer. 

A two circuit phone jack is used for J1 and an RCA phono connector or SO-239 coax connector may be used for J2, L1 is a 2.3 uH toroidal inductor. Use 24 turns of no. 26 enamel, wire on an Amidon T37-6 toroid core or other brand. L2 has three turns of no. 26 enamel, wire wound over the +12 V end of the L1 winding. 

Q1 is a 2N4400 or 2N4401 or equivalent transistor . A 2N2222A may be substituted, but will deliver less output power . Y1 is a fundamental crystal, 30 pF load capacitance.
