The antenna pretty much confirmed my suspicion: The egg just has a small FM transmitter like what you would use in an older car. The duck is just an FM radio. Presumably one of the switch positions should be tuning it to the egg, but since it's FM there's obviously a ton of interference. That being said, a Bluetooth version would be nifty.
I bought one of those FM transmitters to put in a car. I've set it all the way at the end of the FM bandwidth so I'm sure no statons will be picked up there. The audio quality is surprisingly decent.
I'm guessing this thing isn't using Bluetooth but instead is just an FM radio and an egg shaped FM transmitter. Setting to "audio" is probably to knock the radio sensitivity down so it'll only detect the egg once it's dialed in, hence the random static when it isn't.
@@rcflight13 the issue is that the FM transmitter in the egg runs on three startled yelp bats. 3.5 volts (at best) isn't really gonna put out a solid signal.

Hey Wade, Today I am graduating from high school, and I want to thank you for helping me through my hardest times over the years. I had some troubles in my school and got bullied, like getting blackmailed and a student stapling my eyebrows, and your video cheered me through the years and help me get new hobbies like collecting and fixing old tech, appreciation for music, drumming, and making music for fun, and you made my personality funnier. and all I want to say is thank you DankPods.
Seen this kind of thing before. Wireless headsets that you would expect to run on a custom wireless protocol but are just a fm transmitter and the headset is just an fm radio
8:56 It's just a tesla coil. And because Tesla coils (especially the crappy ones) need a lot of voltage and high-frequency AC electricity, and because this thing gets its electricity from 3 AAA batts and a tiny built-in transformer, it runs like crap Actually, it's miraculous that it even works
@sourand jaded Ah, I missed the antenna on the PCB and thought it was a tesla coil when I saw the spring-like shape and a component that looks like a transformer
i love how happy and excited you are, finally a genuine youtuber who truly enjoys what he does. not just the money that comes with it. thank you for making my day every time i see your videos pop up on my notifications. :)
I actually have a duck bath speaker thing but it’s just a water proof speaker that you insert in a rubber ducks back. Eh. It’s cute and does what it says on the tin.
I know it's because it's garbage but honestly I think I would have a lot of fun with a stupid-looking plastic duck that blindly grabs onto any FM signal it can get even the slightest taste of.
