Review: Excellent good quality kit - Having bought and assembled a lot of Chinese kits I was pleasantly surprised with this one , not only were there no parts missing but there were actually spares for some parts which are easily lost. Unlike most Chinese kits this one comes with a pictorial instruction sheet which although having quite small pictures and text I found to be useful, should the size bother you there is an online version accessed by scanning a Q.R code. I would suggest that unless you have young eyes a magnifier is almost essential for soldering the surface mount parts and I do not think that this would be a good first project because of the surface mount parts. Having said this the p.c.b is of excellent quality and providing you exercise patience it all solders together very well. Once assembled and in it's case the radio performs very well, the sound is a little tinny with the supplied speaker which is very small, but this is to be expected, when listening on headphones however the sound is really very good. The radio does seem to be sensitive to headphones resistance in that it worked fine with full sized headphones with a 60 ohm resistance but attempting to use 32 ohm earbuds caused it to malfunction. There is a problem with powering from batteries because it will only work for a short time before the voltage drops to a point where the unit malfunctions, this can be solved by using 1.5 volt re-chargeable lithium ion batteries as these contain an internal voltage regulator which maintains the output at 1.5 volts . Whilst looking into the battery issue I found a power saving feature which appears to be undocumented, if the volume up and down buttons are pressed simultaneously the display will show an H or an L alternately. While in H mode the display is always on whereas while in L mode the display will turn off after a few seconds thus saving power. All in all this is a very good kit and I can recommend it. Review: Good little kit - Really nice kit, well made but lacking proper instructions. A beginner would probably find this hard at first, but if you take your time and just look at the circuit board markings you should be ok. You will need a decent soldering iron with a very small tip, and a flux pen. The main IC socket on mine had issues with the pins, basically they fell out, so I soldered the IC straight onto the PCB. Worked fine. Apart from the awful speaker the radio is great. headphones or an external speaker make it a really good sounding unit. ## Features - Portable FM Radio Kit: After installation, the DIY solder kit for electronics FM radio can tune to 87-108MHz.

A beginner would probably find this hard at first, but if you take your time and just look at the circuit board markings you should be ok. You will need a decent soldering iron with a very small tip, and a flux pen. The main IC socket on mine had issues with the pins, basically they fell out, so I soldered the IC straight onto the PCB.

The kit is well put together and, once assembled, it works great. Buyer beware, this kit had 3 SMD parts to solder, one of them (U3, I think the LCD driver) was a nightmare. I can do through-hole but SMD is very fiddly for me, for my son no chance. We competed this project in a few hours and thankfully it worked. All other parts fit together great. So: beginners beware. Experienced solders - enjoy yourself. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gikfun FM Radio Kit Soldering Practice Kit DIY School Project FM 87-108MHz with 2 Power Supply Modes EK1989 - MiOYOOW 4-Digit DIY Digital Clock Kit with Acrylic Shell, Electronics Alarm Clock Soldering Practice Kit with Adjustable Brightness, DIY Soldering Project Kit for School Learning and Home Office Use - Soldering Practice Kit 3 Leaves LED Rotating Gyroscope DIY Kit Soldering Project Electronics Kit Soldering Practice Kit for Kids Adult ISolderStore --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/538082490-gikfun-fm-radio-kit-soldering-practice-kit-diy-school-project](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/538082490-gikfun-fm-radio-kit-soldering-practice-kit-diy-school-project) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-07*
