The Grenade was a legendary transmitter built by Radio Animal, the operator of WKND. It was sold to a number of pirate radio operators in the early 1990's. It is unknown how many were constructed.

The Grenade was a 10 watt, single-band, crystal controlled AM transmitter for use on 41 meters. Radio Animal used several interesting techniques, particularly with regards to modulation. He also went to great lengths to obscure part numbers and values.

Radio Animal disappeared from the pirate seen not long after selling a number of these transmitters. They have become prized, and many operators have gone to great lengths to reverse engineer or construct similar circuits.
