I was paging though Crutchfield the other day when i came
upon a fm signal booster for ~30 bucks. Now, i thought to
myself, I wouldn't mind trying one of those out, since
my rather cheezy tuner don't lock into the stereo carrier
too good. But I wasn't about to buy it, for several reasons..
One: catalog=drag
Two: thirty bucks
Three: my tuner might be beyond hope.
So, hell, how hard could it be to just build one of these
suckers? So what kind of components/gain/etc. should i be
looking for?  I've built minor audio amps, etc. but i'm not
to familiar with the MHz range... Any recommendations?

thanks
