Pros & Cons
Pros
The full set of instructions are sent in a message or an email for the sake of saving paper. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. It’s a very good idea to download that extra document that they make available.
Fm reception is excellent and am is satisfactory. After experimentation i see an advantage for beginners. If i touch the antenna, that static changes, so, i think it's fully functional.
This is a really nice kit that's easy to solder. It's a fun project to learn soldering technique, and it keeps me proficient with my soldering skills.
The packaging is the best i have seen. The circuit board is quite sturdy and though some components are closely spaced there's no difficulty in mounting them. The board has clear markings that make it easy to find where to place the components.
The vendor is one of the best vendors i have ever dealt with on amazon. The kit is very well organized and packaged. These people are top notch.

They instruct to turn down the volume to turn it off but still uses battery power when all he way down. Turned it on, tried running it, and got some random modem-like sounders on certain channels, and dead silence everywhere else.

There is a surface mount component soldered to the board when you open the package
