The 2N2222 circuitry is a three-element, phase-shift oscillator circuit designed to produce a 1,000 Hz sine wave. This sine wave is applied to the TCG-610 varactor diode, which has a capacitance of 6 pF at 4 V. This application changes the tank capacitance, thereby varying the RF oscillator frequency at a rate of 1,000 Hz. A 1 kΩ potentiometer in the collector circuit can be adjusted to achieve the desired level of frequency modulation. Additionally, the Hartley RF oscillator, built around the commonly available MPF-102 JFET, generates a relatively stable output when enclosed in a metal box, which minimizes variations in tank capacitance. The completed transmitter has a range of 30 feet when not enclosed and operates without an antenna.
The 2N2222 phase-shift oscillator circuit utilizes three active components to generate a sine wave output at a frequency of 1,000 Hz. This configuration is significant for applications requiring precise frequency control and modulation. The integration of the TCG-610 varactor diode allows for dynamic adjustments to the tank circuit's capacitance, which directly influences the oscillator's frequency. The ability to vary the RF oscillator frequency at a consistent rate of 1,000 Hz is crucial for applications such as frequency modulation in communication systems.
The inclusion of a 1 kΩ potentiometer in the collector circuit provides a means to fine-tune the modulation level of the output signal, offering flexibility in the design to accommodate various application requirements. This feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where signal quality and frequency stability are paramount.
Furthermore, the Hartley oscillator configuration, centered around the MPF-102 JFET, offers an additional layer of stability when housed in a metal enclosure. This enclosure mitigates external influences that may affect tank capacitance, thereby preserving the oscillator's performance characteristics. The design's output stability is essential for maintaining consistent transmission quality, making it suitable for short-range communication applications, with a specified range of approximately 30 feet when operated without an antenna.
Overall, the combination of the 2N2222 circuitry and the Hartley oscillator design provides a robust solution for generating and modulating RF signals in various electronic applications.The 2N2222 circuitry is a three-element, phase-shift oscillator circuit, designed to yield a 1,000-Hz sine wave. The 1,000-Hz sine wave is then applied to the TCG-610 varactor diode, 6 pF at 4 V, which changes the tank capacitance, thus varying the rf oscillator frequency at a 1,000-Hz rate.

The Hartley rfoscillator, designed around a readily available MPF-102 JFET, has an output that should be relatively stable if it is enclosed in a metal box, thus minimizing changes in tank capacitance.
