Overview
Assembled DIY-3B FM and MW Analogue Radio Module for Headphones Manual Tuning with Scale Ferrite Antenna 6 x 3.2 x 4.16 cm for DIY Enthusiasts

The assembled DIY-3B analogue radio module is a ready-made receiver featuring classic manual tuning that resembles vintage transistor radios. It can receive broadcasts in the FM and MW bands, that is, very short and medium waves. You tune into a station by turning the white knob above the circular frequency scale, which indicates the range of both bands. For receiving medium waves, there is a ferrite antenna with a wound coil located directly on the board. Sound is played through headphones via a 3.5 mm connector.

The power on and band selection is managed by a single sliding switch with positions OFF, FM, and MW. Volume can be adjusted with a small trimmer on the board, and a light indicates when it is powered on. The module is powered by 2 AA batteries in a holder attached beneath the board and has dimensions of 6 x 3.2 x 4.16 cm including the tuning knob. It comes fully assembled and ready to use, so you do not need to solder or assemble anything. Simply insert the batteries, connect the headphones, and switch the toggle to the desired band.

Receiving medium waves is influenced by the rotation of the ferrite antenna, so it is advisable to rotate the module while tuning into distant stations until the sound is clearest. The best reception is often by a window or outside, far from electrical appliances. For FM reception, a headphone cable usually serves as an antenna, so keep it fully extended while listening. Turn the tuning knob slowly to ensure you do not miss weaker stations. The module does not have a cover, so protect it from moisture, dust, and contact with metal objects. When not in use for an extended period, remove the batteries from the holder.

The assembled DIY-3B radio module is a simple and comprehensible receiver for anyone who enjoys analogue tuning and wants to experience listening to medium waves. It is suitable for DIY enthusiasts and radio amateurs, for physics and electronics teaching, and as a basis for your own radio in a box of your own design. Powered by standard batteries, it can be used at home, in the garden, and on the go. With the switching between FM and MW, it offers a clear selection of local and distant stations. It also makes a lovely gift for radio and electronics lovers.
