This soldering DIY kit help you to learn basic electronic knowledge and circuit principles, and practice soldering skills enjoyably for you, or students, or DIYers. At the same time, you will own a Stereo which has excellent sound quality, stable performance and cool appearance when you finish the project. Suitable for home and office use.
📻√【Great School Science Project】: Great electronic DIY kit for soldering practice and also suitable for family education. Not only to improve your soldering skills, you will also will be more familiar with electronic components and learn more interesting electronics things. You can get detailed and clear instructions by scanning the QR code that comes with the package.
📻√【Easy to Assemble】: The connection that was clearly mapped and labeled on the board makes it easy to assemble. And you can download the clear use manual to introduce the soldering method of each component (we have uploaded the user manual on the Amazon page at Technical Specification).
📻√【Functions & Features】: 87-108MHz, work voltage: DC 4.5-5.5V. Digital display, easy to adjust and use. Automatic memory function after power off. Power saving function, The display can only show for 5 seconds and then enter to power saving mode. ( It is normal that there will be some noise when the digital tube display is on, the sound quality will be better, after the digital tube display is turned off). 5V 1A DC005 power adapter with 5.5*2.5mm power plug is needed (not included).
📻√【Perfect After-Sale Service】: This is DIY kits, not the end product! The Soldering Project requires basic electronic knowledge and hands-on ability. Please download the User Manual before installing. Any issues, please do not hesitate to contact us directly for further help.

Lot of fun and NOT easy..but that is the point! It is supposed to be a challenge!
Let me start off saying: This is a DIY project kit, it is meant to be a challenge and help you build electronics and soldering skills. It does just that while still being fun. I am not new to electronics but this is only my second solder project….and was HARD, I was surprised it worked at the end but I felt quite accomplished when done! If it failed, it would have been my fault but would have still a learning experience.With any this type of kit, I test every part PRIOR to installing (with a multimeter) to make sure everything is in working order (well, at least the capacitors and resistors, no idea how to check microchips). Not because I am suspicious of the item having faulty items BUT because I want to know if the project fails in the end, it was my fault and not that of a random bad resistor. Every item checked out fine and was in generally good condition. Checking is not a requirement but I like to go the extra mile. The kit comes with only a basic wiring diagram and a QR code to instructions. I see many complaints about both of those in the reviews BUT if this came with a 50-page booklet, the kit would cost double what it does. Please do not expect someone to hold your hand while soldering a working radio from a bag of parts! The QR code instructions are workable and there are plenty of great youtube videos to get you from start to finish, if that is what you wish. Search “diy radio kit,” the guy who made those videos did a GREAT job on both the circuit board and case video (part 1 and part 2).Complaints from other reviews that I think need commenting on:-âThis is hardâ: it is a LEARNING KIT, it should be a challenge.-âCase was not clear but looked like cardboardâ: peel the protective sticker off the CLEAR case. This is to PROTECT the case so it looks great after shipping.-âCannot get top of case installed because circuit board is too tallâ: break off scored part of circuit board. I assume this extra piece of PCB board is there so it is easier to solder.-âThis has no plug / power supplyâ: This is true but I think the reason is two fold; 1) to keep the cost low. 2) if it included a power supply then I think would technically become an âapplianceâ and would require far more oversite / liability (and would cost more). I think most people will have a compatible AC adapter laying around the house, just make sure the output voltage is between DC 4.5-5.5V. I found one of my that fit but was rated at 18v. Not sure what would have happened if I tried that ;)-âSome microchip pins were bentâ: Straighten them! Super easy and should be expected with anything beyond a basic Lego kit. Iâve had $400 CPU processors that needed a pin or two bent slightly, no big deal.Oh, and the radio sounds and the finished product looks quite sharp. I sat this on my desk at work and now all my coworkers think I am some evil genius!

Very poor design and function
I have built quite a number of DIY radio receiver kits over the years but this one is by far the worst I have ever encountered. Although it’s outward appearance is good, don’t let that fool you. The FM reception of the radio is absolutely terrible. When switching stations the radio emits a very annoying buzz until the LED display cycles off. This is a condition the designer acknowledged in the instructions. The main selling point of this radio is the LED display that shows frequency. Howevery, very little thought went into the reception and sound quality which is severely lacking. My advice is to save your money and avoid buying this radio kit.

Fun Kit – One hint for better assembly
My first kit to build with my son that has recently been interested in ‘circuit boards’. – Didn’t come with instructions (or a QR code). I looked for something on the listing, but didn’t find it, so I assembled without instructions, not knowing there was supposed to be a QR code. I realized after the fact that the small barrel capacitor under the controller had to be flat. Placed it on the back of the board. – Hint – The board will line up with the housing much better if you place the large capacitors on the back. They don’t interfere with the speaker. The large and small nut combination on the front of the board places the antenna where it belongs. The small capacitor under the controller can also be mounted on the back and laid flat to avoid the speaker. – At $25, you’re definitely buying an experience or teaching opportunity, not a radio. Functionality and sound are not great.

Challenging, Educational, & Fun!
This kit was definitely a challenge. I’ve had experience building guitar pedals, so I thought I had enough soldering and electrical knowledge to take this on. First of all, you need to make sure you have enough equipment to get this project done. You will need plenty of solder (a thin gauge is recommended) and I strongly suggest you get flux because you will need to do some surface mounting (only one chip, but before this I never had experience doing surface mounting).The instructions are not very detailed but give you a good idea of how to complete the kit. Here’s a tip, for mounting the polarized electrolytic capacitors, the negative side goes into the side with the lines. Also, some of the resistors don’t have their codes printed in the instructions, but you can easily look up the values using a website that calculates the values based on the color codes.Also, you need to solder the antenna onto the back of the PCB board. The acrylic case was a bit of a challenge, the instructions aren’t too detailed during these steps. I learned too late that they didn’t remove an extra section from the PCB board until I was assembling the acrylic enclosure and the PCB didn’t fit. I had to look at the product image to cross-check if I was building it correctly. I had to snap off the extra piece using a knife and some pliers.Also, something that took off stars for me was the lack of power supply or battery snap. You will need to buy a 5v power supply for this kit. I don’t know why they didn’t include that as some of their other kits come with a supply.All in all, this is a challenging kit for a beginner. It thought me new techniques and you will need to seek your own resources to help complete the job. But it’s not impossible and completing it will give you a sense of accomplishment (no matter how frustrating it gets along the way). Just make sure you have all the tools to get it done! Get flux paste for surface mounting the chip, and even though it doesn’t say it in the instructions, the antenna is mounted to the back of the PCB by soldering it to the metal mount.

Well made kit with one major exception: The printed circuit board does not fit the case properly: it is about 3 mm too tall. Otherwise the kit is good for assebly and works well with the exception of the noise generated by the LED display when it’s on.
