Make: Radio Companion Kit

Radio waves are all around us...

They’re used by cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, TV dishes, satellite and networks to convey data on thousands of different frequencies. When we unlock a car door with the push of a button or stream music to wireless earbuds, that’s radio. 

Demystify the world of radio through a dozen innovative projects, and build inexpensive radio circuits such as transmitters and receivers, remote controls, and even a working metal detector!

Radio concepts are also adapted for the two included Raspberry Pi Picos, updating classic designs with contemporary tools for accuracy and power.

This kit has been designed for the new Make: Radio book (not included*). Each of the 120+ components is clearly labeled. The ProTechTrader “Make: Radio” Component Kit includes every component required to complete all 12 experiments in the book, including all the optional components. Kit typically ships in 5-7 days after ordering.
