The AM FM radio kit is equipped with two high-quality IC chips. Through delicate circuit design, after soldering it, choose AM or FM mode, then gently turn the turntable, your will hear clear beautiful voice from it.
📻EASY AND FUN TO SOLDER When you take out the PCB board, you will find that is actually easy to solder because of the large pad and clear mark. The smaller chip has been already soldered on the PCB.
If you use it as a teaching kit, that would be fun for learners practicing soldering and learning basic radio knowledge.
And you will have awesome family time if you soldering the radio kit with your lovely kids, they will definitely be proud of themselves when done. 😊 It not only to improve the soldering skills, but also give interesting experience of assembly! 📻GOOD SOUND QUALITY Comes with a nice 8Ω 0.5w speaker. When you tune it up for the first time to receive a radio station, this little guy’s voice may surprise you. 📻REASONABLE DESIGN AND STABLE STANDING No case, the black panel makes more attractive. The radio soldering project kit could be stable standing on any flat place. Please note
1>For your easy reference, we will send you a PDF version of our 100% effort manual with pictures and instructions on soldering steps via Amazon. We also put English paper manual in the package, which including basic stuff.
2>This version radio kit we changed the PCB board into high quality fiberglass, which is fast heat dissipation and high hardness, so we recommend use a solder iron with knife tip would be nice and if the solder wire can’t soldered the board well, please increase the temperature of the soldering iron appropriately.
3>Your suggestions and experience will be highly valued by us. If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to contact us, always at your service!

TL;DR – This is a good kit for beginners, it would be a great first project.
Overall the Vogurtime AM FM Radio Soldering Kit is one of the better soldering project kits I’ve made. I bought it to practice soldering with my new iron (a Hakko FX888). A few things in particular made this kit stand out above others that I’ve done in the past.First, the quality of the board. On other boards I’ve had the problem of traces and pads pulling up when I try to solder to them. Part of that issue is that I didn’t know how to properly set the heat on my old iron, but it was an issue I didn’t notice with this board. There were even components I needed to desolder and try again with because they weren’t in correctly the first time and I had no issues. For a $20 kit, I was very impressed with how well made the board was.Second, the instructions. Let me start by saying that the one-page instructions that come with kit in the box are not the full instructions. The full set of instructions are sent in a message or an email for the sake of saving paper. If you’re brand new to soldering I would recommend you use the full set, but if you know a little about electrical components, you can definitely get by with the ones that come in the box. That’s the other thing that impressed me with this kit. Other ones I’ve built were written in broken English and at times were difficult to understand, but that wasn’t an issue here. Anyone can read these instructions, see the pictures, and look at the board and figure out what component goes where and how it’s supposed to be installed. As such this kit would be great for someone brand new to soldering.Third, the finished product. It’s a working AM/FM radio! I needed to do a bit of troubleshooting to get it working, but if you take your time and make good solder connections you shouldn’t have this issue. It’s got good volume and sounds good what it is. I get about a dozen FM stations without any fine tuning of the knob and a handful of AM stations. I’m thinking about taking mine on my next camping trip, it’s the right size and weight for something like that.So, I’ve sung the praises of this project, but what doesn’t it do well? Simply put, resistors. The resistors could definitely be packaged better to be more friendly to those new to electricity and soldering. The instructions give the color codes for each value, but that can be a bit confusing if you don’t already know how to read them. I used my multimeter to figure out what the value of each resistor was. However, this is more of a nitpick. All in all, the kit is very beginner friendly and poses little to no challenges to first timers.I’d recommend this kit to beginners. It’s great for practicing your soldering skills. You can learn how to solder components with leads and wires to a board and by the end of it you’ll be a lot more confident with an iron. I think this kit is also good for people with more experience soldering. You can build it in a few hours, and it does offer a few opportunities for modification. I’m thinking about adding a headphone jack for example.

Incredible Company and Product!
I cannot day enough about this product or company! I am absolutely amazed!The kit arrived very quickly and was a BLAST to put together! VERY FUN! All pieces are included and building it is pretty straightforward.However, my kit did not work! I was very disappointed as I was certain I did everything correctly. Well, I contacted the customer support on the included sheet and WOW!The support I received was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Lewis quickly got back to me and was extremely supportive and wanted just as much as me to get the piece working. He instructed me and helped me test a few things before quickly sending me a replacement piece which also arrived very quickly. I continued to have a very pleasant and enjoyable back and forth with Lewis, some 20+ messages! A great person and representative of this small but caring company!After some life events and hiccups I got the replacement kit pieced together and it works fantastically! The radio is incredibly loud and clear and has impressive reception!Again, I cannot say enough positives about this product as well as the company behind it. If you have a soldering iron (or even buy a basic simple one) this is a must buy! Very fun and educational—great for soldering and electrical practice and understanding!Thanks again to Vogurtime and Lewis! I will certainly be purchasing more of your soldering project kits!—Dylan

Easy and Fun to Build. Disappointing Performance.
The build and quality of the project is well! Including the instructions! Very easy to read and with pictures and references. However, performance wise the project is weak. The FM side works ok at best and tuning the AM side is like shooting in the dark. But I’m not complaining, it’s a $20 radio kit and the point of it is to understand basic electronics.
