Here is a simple transmitter that when connected to a phone line, will transmit anything on that line (execpt the dial tone) to any FM radio. The frequency can be tuned from 88 to about 94Mhz and the range is about 200 feet. It is extremely easy to build and is therefore a good, useful beginner project.

An interesting circuit and handy electronic telephone receiver, suited for receiving incoming calls, is described here. This circuit can be connected to almost all types of telephone exchange lines. To simplify the gadget, the dialer section has been omitted. The circuit can be constructed on a medium size veroboard.

This nifty little circuit lets you record your phone conversations automatically. The device connects to the phone line, your tape recorder's microphone input, and the recorder's remote control jack. It senses the voltage in the phone line and begins recording when the line drops to 5 volts or less.

This circuit will allow you to record both sides of your telephone conversations for future reference. For commercial orders placed over the phone such a recording device is invaluable.

This device connects to the telephone line and can be used to remotely control up to 4 relay outputs using a DTMF (tone dialing) telephone. A number of user settings are available to improve the useability and security of the device. The kit comes complete with a small plastic case with silk-screened front and rear panels.

Simple telephone Ringer with KA2411 IC.

Although this kind of voice effect can be obtained by means of some audio computer programs, a few correspondents required a stand-alone device, featuring microphone input and line or loudspeaker outputs. This design fulfills these requirements by means of a variable gain microphone preamplifier built around IC1A, a variable steep Wien-bridge pass-band filter centered at about 1KHz provided by IC1B and an audio amplifier chip (IC2) driving the loudspeaker.

Most of the telephone security devices available in market are simple but quite expensive. These devices provide blinking or beeping type line-tap/misuse indications. Quite often they do not offer guaranteed protection against unauthor-ised operation. A very simple and uni- que circuit of a telephone watch-dog to safeguard subscriber telephone lines against any fraud is described here. This little circuit keeps continuous watch over the telephone lines and sounds an alarm in case of any misuse. In addition it transmits a loud tone through the telephone lines to prevent further misuse.
