ProTechTrader Make: Radio Electronics Component Kit - Complete Learning System for Radio Building

Transform your electronics journey with the ProTechTrader Make: Radio Component Kit, the officially endorsed electronics learning system designed specifically for Make: Radio by Fredrik Jansson. Released in July 2024 and updated for 2025, this comprehensive kit eliminates the frustration of component hunting and gets you building real radios from day one.

Why Choose the Make: Radio Component Kit?

Learning electronics should be exciting, not exhausting. While other learners waste hours tracking down obscure components from multiple suppliers, you'll be completing experiments and building functional radios. This kit was developed under Fredrik Jansson's direct supervision and features contributions from electronics legend Charles Platt, who wrote the foreword and illustrations for the companion book.

The Make: Radio Component Kit represents an exciting new chapter in hands-on electronics education. You'll progress from building your own AM radio that sends and receives sound to creating commercial-grade transmitter and receiver systems—the same technology used in wireless doorbells. The wireless modules included can achieve ranges of over a dozen yards, amazing readers and makers worldwide.

What's Inside: 120+ Premium Components

Every component needed to complete all 12 experiments in Make: Radio is included, clearly labeled for your convenience. No substitutions, no compromises—just the exact parts specified for optimal learning results.

Microcontrollers & Development Boards

• Two Raspberry Pi Picos: Dual-core, pocket-sized powerhouse computers perfect for radio projects, robotics, home automation, and video game emulators
• Si4703 FM Radio Module: Professional-grade radio receiver chip
• 1602 LCD Screen: Clear display for radio feedback and data
• Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Modules: Commercial-quality RF communication components
• Two Solderless Breadboards: Build and rebuild circuits without permanent connections

Essential Electronic Components

• Ceramic capacitors in multiple values
• Electrolytic capacitors for power filtering

• Switches and potentiometers for user control

Specialized Radio Components

• Ferrite rod: Essential for building directional antennas
• Tuning capacitors: Variable capacitors for frequency selection
• European-style connection blocks: Secure, reusable wire connections
• Pre-built radio for testing: Reference device to verify your builds

Perfect for STEM Education & Self-Learning

Recommended directly in the Make: Radio text, this kit has become the popular choice for students, teachers, and hobbyists in STEM programs nationwide. The compact packaging makes it ideal for classroom use, travel to makerspaces, or learning at home. Each component is clearly labeled, turning what could be a confusing pile of parts into an organized, accessible learning tool.

Build Real-World Radio Technology

This isn't theory—it's practical, hands-on radio engineering. You'll construct:

• AM radios that transmit and receive audio signals
• FM receivers using modern integrated circuits
• Wireless communication systems with dozen-yard ranges
• Microcontroller-enhanced radios that bridge analog and digital worlds

The experiments progress logically from fundamental concepts to advanced applications, making sophisticated radio technology accessible to complete beginners while remaining engaging for experienced makers.

Family Business Support You Can Trust

As a small family business, ProTechTrader provides something big corporations can't: personal attention. Every kit has been hand-tested by completing every single experiment in the book.
