It's more money up front but it's worth every single penny. I bought a few kits and tried them with standard 'plug into wall' irons and got so frustrated. I ended up spending probably 100+ dollars on various irons and started to think I wasn't cut out for it. I watched some tutorial videos and they all preached about getting a station. So I got a Weller WES51 (About a hundred bucks) and right out of the box I was soldering like crazy. I used a dummy board to get the hang of it and I was ready to assemble an FM transmitter I'd gotten. It gets hot fast and you can dial in the temperature. You can clean the iron with the included sponge. Huge difference and now I'm just looking for a reason to solder something. :) **Q: Can FM stations be selected or does it continually scan?** A: Stations are tuned in and continue to be tuned in one at a time. Scan to the next station and hold until you press the button to scan to the next station. **Q: What are the dimensions of the circuit board? I would like to put it in a box** A: The board is 3-7/16" high by 5-9/32" wide by 1-1/2" thick. The antenna mount sticks off the top left edge of the board. **Q: Do you recommend this kit or another for learning basic soldering skills? I'd rather have a radio than a useless siren at the end. Thanks.** A: Yes, this would be a good starter kit to learn basic soldering skills. That was my main deciding factor when purchasing it so that I could teach my son how to solder. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ facile et bien complet *by F***P on 31 May 2019* Le kit est facile à monter, même si l'étaim fourni il faut bien chauffer pour que ça accroche, avec de l'étaim de qualité en revanche aucun soucis, la notice en anglais est superbe illustrée et détaillée, y'a pas à se tromper, je conseille de souder les deux composants optionnels pour un bon son. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great soldering project - and you get a working radio! *by A***R on 6 September 2020* Some people might be disappointed without a frequency display for tuning, but it is a great soldering project, and you end up with a functional FM radio. Various people have designed cases that can be 3D printed, which is a nice finish to the project. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Turn it up! *by Y***E on 20 May 2026* Bought this for my daughter and I to put together. She was a little shy about soldering but she helped during the whole process. I think it was a great learning experience. I was able to explain the circuit and describe what each component does in the circuit. The instructions are super clear and make it easy to checkoff the parts used in a smooth transition. Radio worked as expected. Instructions even advised to check midway through the process to insure that your progress was fruitful. Parts were laid out perfectly on the card and labeled well! This kit is great for a first timer or an experienced hobbyist. I might fashion a case unless I find one from elenco. It works fine like it is but a case (especially clear) would be a nice touch. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elenco FM Radio Kit - Elenco Practical Soldering Project Kit - MiOYOOW TJ-56-428 4-Digit Digital DIY Clock Kits with Acrylic Shell, DIY Alarm Clock Soldering Practice Kit for Students and DIYers, DIY Electronics Kit for Learning Electronics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/80971867-elenco-fm-radio-kit](https://www.desertcart.be/products/80971867-elenco-fm-radio-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
