Elenco FM-88K AutoScan Fm Radio Kit

The ELENCO® FM-88K Kit is a monophonic, two-IC, FM (frequency modulation) receiver designed to receive FM signals in the frequency range (88-108MHz). It uses electronic auto-scan to search for FM stations. This scan system is done with two button switches - one switch scans up, the other resets to the start of the tuning position.

The unique design of this radio kit allows you to place the parts over the corresponding symbols in the schematic drawing on the surface of the printed circuit board. This technique maximizes the learning process, while keeping the chance of assembly error at a minimum.

To simplify troubleshooting the FM radio, it is constructed in two sections (Audio and RF). There are two IC’s, one for the audio section, the other for the RF. The RF IC is surface mounted (SM-IC), pre-installed on the high quality printed circuit board.

Soldering required.

For ages 13 and up.
Batteries: 1-9V

Wish it had a housing

This is a fun kit, challenging and a good learning experience overall. I wish it included some sort of housing to put it in when you were done to make it a real radio. I've decided to use this failing as a new learning experience, we're designing and making a case for it with our 3D printer and design software.

Summer Stem Camp Kit

Needed something for a summer electronics STEM camp for my daughter and she chose this. She ended up putting it together in class and got it working well. It was a bit challenging, but it taught her a lot.

Fun to build

This is really more for the experience of building the radio and putting it in aesthetic case. For the price you can get a new radio out of the box, but I lik building things, so this was fun to "play" with.
