The AB1 Transmitter became popular amoung drug squads and was affectionately known as the "AUTO BUG." Seems like it was usually concealed inside the front grill of an automobile since agents and informats usually gather in that area for conversation. Only uses 3 Volts ( Two 1.5 AAA cells in series ) for a "MATCHBOX" size. Transmits both sides of the conversation and operational in the upper VHF band.

I usually build this circuit to operate between 150 to 165 Mhz. The Crystals I use Are The Digi-Key Electronics Barrel Crystals CA-301 Type which cost a couple of bucks per crystal.
Example: If I use a 15 Mhz Barrel Crystal, the frequency ( Desired Output Frequency ) of 150.00 Mhz, I simply multiply the crystal frequency X10
Virtually any Fundamental Crystal between 14 and 17 Mhz will output a frequency of between 140 to 170 Mhz, if the crystal has a load capacitance of around 18 pf. If you wish to build this transmitter on A custom frequency simply Divide your desired transmit frequency by 10 and follow the instructions below:
Example: My Customer Desires this transmitter to function at an output frequency of:158.250
Mhz?
Divide 158.250 times 10. This Equals 15.825 Mhz
I would order the crystal at a Fundamental frequency of 15.825 Mhz, tolerance of .001% and
Crystal Load Capacitance of 18 pf. When I tune my transmitter, my output transmit frequency
would be: 158.250 Mhz.
Use Crystals between 14 to 18 MHz. - Digi-key Electronics CA-301 Barrel Crystals
