Franzis 65261 FM Radio Kit 'Soldering'

The Franzis self-assembly FM Radio kit uses the latest digital technology to provide the best sound from FM broadcasts. The fully assembled and tested main board with a BK1068 digital signal processing chip makes this possible. The kit is simple to build having been designed for the soldering novice. The tuning is done via a simple touch with your finger on the touch-sensitive sensor areas which also control the reset and standby (mute) functions.

The key to this radio kit is the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip. Analogue signals from the antenna are converted to digital signals, digitally processed and then transformed back into an audio signal using an analogue-to-digital converter. This sounds complicated, but it makes life easier for you. There are no radio frequency coils, no adjustable components and fewer components overall, all this while providing better reception!
