    The document describes a remote control system to operate a garden water pump from 100 meters away. It consists of a 30MHz transmitter with a Colpitts oscillator, modulator and amplifier, and a receiver. The receiver uses a BF998 mixer and TA7640 IC to demodulate the AM signal. It detects a 1kHz tone from the transmitter using a NE567 PLL decoder chip to switch a relay and power the pump. The receiver is housed in a painted plastic box to prevent the local oscillator from shifting in sunlight.

    30MHz Remote Control Receiver

    My wife wanted a remote control system to switch on her garden water pump some 100 meters away in our backyard.
    I have plenty of 30MHz crystals which I can turn one of them into an AM transmitter. After messing around with
    many off-the-shelf RC encoder and decoder chips - I had no luck. So I turned to the old day TONE DECODER. After
    all it's just a single channel water pump (not a drone flight controller eg.,) that we are doing here.
    The transmitter is made of a Colpitts oscillator, 1 KHz modulator and an RF amplifier (approx. 100mW). With just
    a 70-cm whip antenna it can transmit the 30MHz RF signal to a distance beyond what is required in the backyard.
    Below - is the receiver. BF998 mixes incoming 30MHz with the 30.455MHz local oscillator. I also have lots of
    TA7640 and LA1260 in my junkbox that I thought I'd give the 7640 a try. Well, it works great although the
    LA1260 does not need a second IF transformer in its AM demodulation circuitry. Anyway, Q4 brings up the 1KHz
    tone from the transmitter to the level required by the NE567 PLL decoder chip. When NE567 detects the incoming
    1KHz it drives pin 8 to ground (this pin is tied to Vcc via 4K7
    which means Q5 is always ON and Q6 always OFF in the absence of
    the tone from the transmitter.

    Food box painted white

    I placed the receiver in a plastic food box and left it under the
    sun. The only problem was with the local oscillator - it shifted
    when the clear plastic box was hit by direct sunlight. So I painted
    the outside of the box with white paint. From then on, LO never
    shifted and the box turned on the pump everytime I pressed RUN on
    the transmitter from inside the living room 100 meters away.
