This by far is a great little radio, I spent about 6 hours building it, I don't like to rush my work, makes for a nice job, you will need some experience in soldering, basic knowledge of electronics, if not, it may be a little rough, I suggest for those with lil experience to read the great paper work they include, you can find a lot of information on YouTube , there's apps you can get for your phone to tell you values of transistors, capacitors, ceramic and electrolitic, mostly all electronic parts, there's lots of information right here in other reviews, make sure you have a good magnifying glass,a good soldering station because a cheap 10 dollar iron from Walmart won't cut it, , best to learn as much as you can about electronics, books videos ect
