Here is a link to the project I was considering...http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Elec_p024.shtml
What I wan't to do with it is keep everything intact except the oscillator. Instead of an oscillator I want to use a 555 timer with a pot so I can adjust the frequency being transmitted. If you look at the schematic attached this is what I have done. I know there are limitations to the 555 timer such as max output current can only be 200mA. So would this modification work?...this is my first time doing radio signals so I'm a bit confused as to what is happening.
