Re: AM radio that use a chip for the receive circuitry

Hi All,
I would like to try my hand at using a MCU such as an Arduino to control a Si4735.
Si4735's are available on eBay Australia 5 for $US7.14 ($AU11.55), but they are SSOP packages.
My old eyes and shaky hands can't handle SMD's even with magnifying lenses.
Does anyone know if/where I can get Si4735's in a through hole package or on a breakout board?
Stay safe folks,
Ray

There's a list of receivers using the SiLabs Si4735.
Si4735 is a formidable chip, it peaks the ferrite antenna automatically in LW and MW, provides 4 or 5 different AM bandwidths, has a very competent FM receiver with RDS and can even load a new firmware live to provide SSB demodulation.

I'm following a thread on a group with an argument about whether new AM radios are now mostly designed with a chip |
