To RECEIVE ATV: 
Use a cheap Satellite receiver (900-1750Mhz) with 23cm Yagi antenna to watch amateur television activities on your local ATV repeater on 1250 Mhz or 1280 Mhz in FM-TV. 
Hams use the same standard as ASTRA/Eutelsat broadcast satellites ( PAL with subcarrier ) 

To TRANSMIT: 
Many transmitter kits are available for 23cm,13cm and 3cm band. Often a PLL or Cristal oszillator is not necessary for ATV, since bandwith is more than 12 Mhz. Output power of 0,5Watt can easily be pushed to 20 Watts using a PA-module from mobile phones. Wellknown supliers in Europe are: 

RSE     GRAF    Koeditz    KUHNE 
 

Sync-decoder 
             Video Squelch 

Often you may want to switch on your television or videorecorder automatically, when there is activity on the local amateur  television  repeater . The following cicuit allowes you to detect the video signal by its significant sync-signal  (15,625 kc in  European PAL/SECAM)
