Of course this won't work, firstly its DVB-T reciever, not antenna, secondly it's possible to output signal only using GPIO.

oscardimanno commented 7 years ago

The gpio is very low signal

Well its a hack, not professional FM transmitter meant to be used in production. Also don't forget that you can boost the signal with high gain antenna. And of course you can use some amplifier circuit, but keep in mind that using amplifier together with Raspberry Pi probably isn't good idea.

Why ins't a good idea?

Probably because FM broadcasts are prohibited and subject to government concessions in almost all the countries in the World?!
