I wanted something more advanced than the usual beginners kits. I was not disappointed! I’m learning a lot putting this together.

What make this Elanco kit so great is that the instructions also teach you about the details of the components and electronics. A fun and educationa kit!

The finished product works fine. Keep in mind that it's a real pain to get it working just right. I used another radio tuned to a known station to get it working.All the parts are through-hole and easy enough to solder, but it's not a kit for beginners. The audio quality is fine, but it's no hi-fi radio.

i still didnt completed it. but i have some mix feelings about it. Im an Electronics Engineer and build this for hobby.If you really think you will learn how this thing operates from following the manual...well not really. They do explain stuff,but some assumptions are made there, and the math isn't there to understand how they got to those numbers. So sure its nice and funjust dont expect to understand every little thing from this manual

Non trivial project, the audio IC was bad

This thing rocks - awesome beginner's kit for the junior experimenter. To get the most out of this kit, you should have a VOM, scope, and frequency generator - but you could put it together and it would work just fine without those things.
