I want the FM transmitter bug kit assembled. I tried it myself and it overheated.
You have to solder it up, took me 1 hour, test it and note the frequency on the radio, and mail it to me. I can paypal or send a money order. Post your quote if interested!

So it doesn't work? Is that because it got too hot when you soldered it? Are you sure, most components can handle a reasonable amount of heat. Or is it another problem like static damage? Or a solder bridge that you can locate and fix yourself with a magnifying glass? Or have you connected the battery backwards and popped it?
For heavens sake. It'll be cheaper for you to buy another one, plus a suitable soldering iron and solder if you don't already have one, spend a couple of hours practising and having another go. That way you'll learn something useful as well.

I was pretty quick soldering, no static sensitive components. A transister got really hot after a few minutes of being turned on. The PCB would be hard to bridge with a solder joint. I was surprised it didn't work, I've made a heap of FM bugs long time ago.
I just remembered I bought an assembled bug from Talking Electronics 20 years ago so I sent them an email.

I threw everything in the rubbish. Talking Electronics is mailing me a premade bug for $55.
The problem with bugs is you spend hours listening to nothing or one comment and rarely get good info. But this bug I got 20 years ago, not sure if they still make it but it's in the 1st bug magazine by TE, called Scorpion, it's a tiny thing with no antenna or battery, just some alligator clips and you open up your phone and connect it to the wires, and it only transmits when people are talking on the phone. I had a bit of fun with it, found out my gf was planning on playing up... it draws power from the phone, works forever, and uses the phone wires for the antenna. If you got a radio signal triggered tape recorder you'd have a decent surveillance setup. Bug range was 100 meters, and cost $16 back then assembled.

All higly illegal of course.
Too bad she'd now be using her mobile and a fixed phone bug would be virtually useless. But did you ever wonder why she was playing up, something to do with what she wasn't getting from you perhaps :-)

probably, tapping your own phone?
I don't know I lost count after I banged her 500 times.

If neither party to the call knows you're doing it, yes.
Nuts, I was going to nuke my post from google but bloody Mr T quoted me.

Maybe she was after quality not quantity? But hey since you'd already had a good trot, why did you care anyway? If you've got to put a bug on your own phone to check on your girlfriend, I suggest it's already time to cut her loose.
MrT.
Just proves what you CAN do in 20 years if you have the pluck

Well, there no point in soldering a PCB like that but shipping a
