Welcome to the home of the Knight Broadcaster! Just a guess, but you're probably here because you personally built and operated one of these fascinating kits. You may have been introduced to electronics, radio, and even commercial broadcasting through your experiences.
This kit appeared in the Allied Radio Catalog and was a simple, low-cost, low-power AM radio transmitter. Thousands built and owned one from the mid 1950s through the late 1960s.
Looking for a Knight-Kit? Well, so are we! At this time we have NO Knight-Kit items in stock. We do find them occasionally, though. Check back! Note that it is extremely rare to find an un-built kit. Early everything we find is already built.
See our Knight-Kit Saga article in "Monitoring Times Article" July, 2011 issue!
We are revising this site, so please let us know what you'd like to see. We'd love to get an email from you with your own stories about building the Broadcaster and what it was like to be "on the air". Watch this site grow! New fan stories will be added from time to time.
