Elenco Auto-Scan FM Radio Kit Reviews

4.1 Rating 482 Reviews
The instruction manual is excellent. The traces are too thin, and they lift off the board with the slightest movement of the soldering component. I bought two of the kits and had the same problems with both of them. I finally gave up and trashed them.

It's a fun set and is easy to follow along with. Could definitely be a fun activity to do with your kids.

Straightforward directions and assembled easily. It doesn't have the greatest sensitivity.

For those that want not only soldering practice, but also to learn from the things they're building, this kit is awesome. The instructions, in clear English, describe actually how the radio works, and why.This isn't just a practice build, its a learning build!

I'm an adult learning to solder for the first time. I'd recommend watching a couple videos on soldering in general, if you're learning on your own, but the instructions in this kit are easy to follow and the joints were simple to make. However, the lead-free solder in the kit doesn't flow very well. A roll of 63/37 lead and tin solder came with my soldering iron, and that worked way better.

It works only in the city, and further from the city it just rustles
