A default Raspberry Pi with RPITX software and a short wire antenna can transmit AM, FM, SSB 5 KHz up to 1500 MHz

True it is only transmitting a few mW but it genuinely does these transmission modes at these frequencies with only a piece of wire connected to one of the pins on the board – no extra hardware modules added. Who said Raspberry Pi’s are not amazing!

This is quite a useful way to demonstrate how RF transmitting works to youngsters. Of course, its got to be remembered that without a bandpass filter this is going to generate some interference and apart from that transmission is regulated in most countries.
