Do perferated boards work very well for soldered RF module boards? I know that PCB is going to be the best bet but Im still not real confortable making them, will a threw hole perfboard work very well or should I just bite the bullet and make a PCB?
Also why is it I cant get a FM transmitter/reciever circuit working on a solderless breadboard? I understand that the board has some compasatance and affects the modules function but I would still think they would still work. Ive tested AM 300 Mhz circuits with little or no difficulty but cant get these new MKR5's to do anything even from 1 foot away. My distributor suggested soldering the circuit and trying it but Im thinking that if I cant get them to work on a breadboard something might be wrong with one or both. I used the same board and encoder/decoder as I used with the Ming AM 300 Mhz transmitter so I know that everything was wired correctly.
