It’s been a bit quiet around here lately – I’m just swamped with work, and it never quite goes away, but neither does the desire to do something for my own enrichment and enjoyment and the desire to blog about it. Seeing as I enjoyed reviving a few of kits, I wondered if there was anything out there I could build which would be a little more attractive and perhaps slightly more sophisticated. I was aware of the which looks to be a very nice kit, but a bit on the pricey side for an AM only radio.

So, I rummaged on eBay looking for radio kits, and surprisingly, there were quite a few! Sadly, a good number of them are very opaque in the sense that they rely on a digital auto-scan FM receiver chip and there really isn’t much to them aside from that and an amplifier chip. I settled on one which was listed as CF210SP AM FM Radio Kit, with a few other “related” words thrown in. As expected, it’s a dual band (AM/FM) radio, with the whole kit coming in at a reasonable AU$7.99 including postage and comes complete with exterior casing. The big downside? Everything is in Chinese. The only English you will find is in the listing description, which isn’t particularly easy to read nor informative: CF210SP is a new type of radio FM, AM two band radio, the FM band using the CD9088 chip, which uses patch element SMT package, the receive frequency range of 76-108HMZ, not only to accept the FM radio, can also receive campus radio and part of the audio signal of the television stations; AM band using direct IC the TA7642, receive frequency range is 525-1605KHZ circuit is simple, assembly success rate, a better selectivity having a little.

While I am of Chinese decent, I’ll have to admit that I can’t read, nor write in Chinese. Even though the instructions are in Chinese, I didn’t feel that to be a big impediment because when it comes to components and schematics, the drawings and markings transcend the language barrier. Just another way engineering solves the day! Luckily for everyone, the board also has very good silkscreening to judge by the listing. As a result, I accepted the challenge and put in an order for two kits.
