Having confirmed that other people on OKC don't get notified when people go and look at their profiles, I actually looked at other people's profiles for the first time this morning! I was scared.

Two kits to build are arriving today! One of them is a cheap function generator, which will be nice for really basic testing at least. The one I'm *really* excited about, though, is an AM/FM radio kit that comes with a 56-page book that covers theory of design and operation. An Amazon review fully sold me:

"If you want to learn radio electronics, really learn what is happening inside a radio and why (to the greatest detail). If you want to learn how to optimize (tune, calibrate) a radio receiver. If you want to learn to use your test equipment, your frequency generator, your oscilloscope, then this is an outstanding kit! I have learned a great deal from this kit even after fifty years. In fact, the most I've learned from a kit in many, many years!"

I'm so excited to start on it! I want to really understand this stuff for when I work on vintage receivers.

(Here's the function generator I bought.)
