Others:
Q1 : BF900 D1 : BB405,BB102 or equal (most varicaps with C = 2-20 pF (approx) will do) U1 : uA78L08, uA7809, uA7810 or equal MC78LXX, UC78LXX
This package contains the schematic and PCB layout for the FM oscillator using the BF900 Dual Gate MOSFET, which is used between 90 and 110 MHz. and that he has a very low noise, and very stable. If you use the proper buffering, a PLL is not needed anymore .
For BF900 mounting holes (diameter 6 mm) should be created in which the casing can survive in. I myself have a problem with ‘the other side of the copper’, since the oscillator will not light (not really enough votes?? Just kidding). Was solved when I removed the copper BF900 (about 1 – 1.5 cm diameter).
