As of January 2017, the Free Radio Berkeley project was 24 years old. We keep our prices low so that most anyone can afford to have a voice - and offer technical support, classes and training as well. In order to continue our efforts to preserve and expand Free Speech on the airwaves through rather difficult economic and political times, your financial support is needed. Please make a donation to Free Radio Berkeley.


We will be adding further instructional videos and slide shows on both Free Radio and TV. Go the technical libary section. Some of the currently available documents:

Liberating the broadcast spectrum through electronic civil disobedience and being a voice for the voiceless defines the essential nature of Free Radio. Click here for the essay by Stephen Dunifer

A four day DIY workshop session sponsored by Free Radio Berkeley in which you learn how to build either a 10, 40 or 150 watt FM broadcast (88-108 MHz, standard FM band) transmitter (and other related items such as antennas) and set up a low power community radio station capable of covering a broadcast radius up to 10-15 miles depending on terrain and antenna height.

With an emphasis on direct, hands-on learning, you will learn how to solder, identify electronic components, assemble an FM broadcast transmitter from a kit of parts, build and tune an antenna, properly setup and test broadcast equipment and much more. Further, you will be given an overview of basic electronics and broadcast engineering.

A workshop fee of $200 to $300 sliding scale is charged. At the end of the radio camp session you may purchase the 40 watt transmitter for $450 or the 10 watt transmitter for $300 or the 150 watt transmitter for $650 - the cost of the kit, power supply and enclosure. An entry level 10 watt transmitter kit made in China is available for $60. All participants will assemble an AM/FM radio kit which is included in the workshop fee.

The camp is open to anyone 16 years and older. The Radio Camp session runs Friday through Monday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). It will be held at FRB’s shop in Rodeo,CA September 1 - 4, 2017

Make Radio Not War! Restore media democracy and break the corporate stranglehold on the free flow of information, ideas, art and cultural expression by establishing an FM broadcast station in your neighborhood or community. Contact Free Radio Berkeley for any question or further information.

All packages include transmitter, power supply, Comet 5/8 ground plane antenna and 50 feet of low loss coaxial cable. The Comet antenna has a power gain of 2. This means that the antennaa effectively doubles whatever power is fed to it. If you wish to double the radius of coverage, the power has to be increased by a factor of 4 and the antenna raised to a height that will provide the required distance to horizon. FM transmission is line of sight - both the transmitting and receiving antenna must be able to "see" each other. The radius of coverage as stated above assumes average flat terrain with an antenna positioned at least 40 to 50 feet (12-15 meters) above the ground. As it is said, "You mileage may vary".

These are plug and play packages. Add an audio mixer, compressor limiter, microphones, etc. for a complete radio station. In many cases, with the proper hardware and software a computer system can provide most of these functions. Cue up a mix of mp3/podcast content, live streams, etc., feed the audio output from the computer to the transmitter and bring fresh voices, news/information and music to your neighborhood and community.
