Great DIY radio, with great sound
Great easy to assemble radio with multi-band reception! Amazing quality of sound for the size! It is also rechargeable, comes with lithium battery.
User
Interesting project. Quality is good.
High quality, not sure if am (they call it mw) or sw works, I get no reception, but FM works fine. Lots of featuresMust download instructions, the page that comes with it is worthless for assembly. Contrary to other reviews, this is not ‘easy’ to assemble. Screws small and interlocking cabinet pieces make it somewhat challenging.Recommend with above info

Fun kit but so so instructions
The first kit came with a cracked storage case so I requested a replacement someone had assembled but a wire from the battery was apparently broken during assembly. I ended up keeping the first kit and love it despite the fact that the instructions were not that clear and I had to be very careful not to have the same wire break. The radio works surprisingly well. Very good reception and very decent sound for a little radio. I would recommend for older teens or adults. Fun to build.

Great little radio for kids and dad to put together
Excellent radio. My 12 year old put it together. The install is easy but you need to be patient because there are fragile plastic parts. The reception on FM is crystal clear. AM (MW) sounds good. SW sounds good. I believe I picked up WWV time on SW 5, 10, 15 Mhz. but it wasn't clear enough at 3pm and my location. If I go throught the house, even outside, I can catch it. I will buy more so i can gift them.

A Very Easy To Put Together SW/MW/FM Radio Kit
It's a very easy, fun, put together kit that requires no soldering. I remember places like Radio Shack for example used to sell solderless kits, but this one, was something worth buying a building, because it has the SW bands to listen to my international radio broadcasts just like the old radio kits that only had AM and SW on it. This kit can be used and also modified with extra other modules like maybe adding a power amplifer for more loudness, maybe adding a Bluetooth receiver module and maybe adding a simple BFO circuit for adding single side band reception to your SW receiver to listen to the hams talking back and forth. The AM reception is very good, BUT, it only tunes 9 kHz increments which is good if you're travelling to other countries that have 9 kHz radio stations, but still you have to try to get used to tuning your local stations like for to tune 790 kHz, it will have to be set to 792 kHz. I hope the next generation design will remedy this 9 kHz issue and find a way to add 9/10 kHz reception including LW which can be the basic 153 kHz to 279 kHz like other basic radios have so when you do travel the world you will be able to listen to your domestic LW broadcasts before they sign off the air in the future. Also the reception for FM is really good, but it kinda overloads which means a attenuator for the antenna circuit could be added. It's a great experimenters playground radio receiver, you can have loads a fun or use it as is. It's great for to build and give to something like a special friend and family member on your gift list to get them started in short wave, AM and FM reception for years to come. A long wire and a loop antenna is recommended for best reception for this portable radio.

Radio para armar.
Este es un producto que es solo para armar nada de electrónica y a propósito aunque parezca sencillo de hacerlo es difícil porque no hay unas instrucciones en fotos que te pueda ayudar,solo unos pasos que son confusos para entenderlo bien,casi que desisto porque tienes que adivinar donde va cada tornillo.Lo positivo es que la placa funciona perfectamente y recibe FM,MW y Onda corta perfectamente con calidad pero para pasar ese trabajo mejor te compras un radio ya hecho.Es un pequeño rompecabezas,nada de soldar ni de electrónica.

Better than real commercial radio
Very good quality radio -- it's even better than a real radio I have at home! Fairly easy to assemble if you remove the film. Remember to remove the film covering as I forgot to do that and nearly broke the radio while reassembling. Long lasting battery too. Challenging for a 14 year old but not "I give up" challenging.The only downside is that the plastic cover plates are super sensitive so if you get it in wrong once you might never get it back on properly again unless you cut part of the plate or something.(apologies for the quality at the end of the video that's because I switched to a lower quality station)

who can i contact as no options on my order information
my son was putting this together last night with his PA, luckily the carer noticed the smell of battery acid before my son had held the battery. where it has been packed in the little box the speaker has dug into the battery which has then leaked. we need a replacement battery please.EDIT 16.7.24 as had to contact amazon to sort out issue with the battery. as unfortunately no response from seller regarding a replacement. theyve also changed the information so its now a different make and actual item looks different. despite this, the person i spoke to with amazon was very helpful and understanding.
