FM Radio kit

The FM radio kit uses an industrial surface mount IC (the TDA7010T). The FM radio kit is supplied with the IC mounted on the board. The students have to add the remaining resistors, capacitors and amplifier IC to finish the kit.

The radio has controls for tuning and to adjust the volume. The circuit includes an audio amplifier and output is via a 66mm diameter speaker that is supplied with the kit.
