The radio shows excellent reception and good sound quality in FM band. In the AM band, the reception is poor and the sound is to low even with the sound volume at the maximum position. The instructions are the worst of all in the radio. They are written in Chinese (?) and for that it’s impossible to read. The delivered instructions don't appear to have any procedure to correct eventual assembly problems. It is something that should be reviewed.

This kit comes with effectively no instructions, though the printed circuit shows the position of the components. There are instructions online, from various sources, that help with assembly and I would recommend that these are consulted. One of the ICs is absolutely tiny, and requires a very steady hand (and a magnifying glass) to solder. Otherwise this is a straightforward, fun build, really for someone with a bit of previous electronics experience. At the end you have quite a useable radio. Great!

Cheap enough and a challenge for a wet afternoon! Having assembled a few of these Chinese kits, I found this one posed a number of problems. Parts are very small and magnifying glass are essential to identify resistors and caps. The fm chip would prove a soldering challenge for any beginners. But good experience. Printed circuit tracking was easily damaged populating components so treat with a kid glove! Bench test the circuit and tune before installing in the case... Good luck with the daft plastic tuning bit! Overall, a bit of fun to build but not a particularly useful radio receiver!

For the price I shouldn't complain BUT instructions In Chinese, componants all cheap and nasty, antenna too short for my location, after upgrading the antenna i had a good fm tuner but the speaker quality let it down. Not recommended for a complete noob but for somone with some experience that wants a brain teaser it's very good
