Thanks for the Making Waves videos, this is a nice build. You have inspired me to learn to solder. I took a basic soldering class 20 years ago but I haven’t soldered in many years. My Wife just bought me a basic soldering kit. I plan to buy the training kit you showed. I also want to build the Tecsun and the American made radio you showed, plus repair and modify radios. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very neat. I am new to soldering, was hoping to watch and learn. However, I am sure there are hundreds of videos that can teach you. Thanks for doing these.
Hi! Just finished putting kit together. Very easy. Like you stated on the video, I wished the DC input part served as a battery charger, as you know, once you loose power, you will have to set up the clock again. So far clock is running accurate. Will try to post in the future if I do use the speed adjustment function.
@todderbert, my findings are that the clock runs faster on DC input than on batteries. My settings for it to be the most accurate possible are: When on DC Input speed set at 7, when on Batteries speed set at 9 (max). You can run the clock on DC power with the batteries installed, but this doesn't do any good, because if you loose DC power you can not engage the batteries until you unplug the DC input. So clock will reset when you unplug the DC input. The good thing...brightness and clock speed do NOT reset when losing power. Somehow they are saved on the main chip.
Hej Todderbert Wow nice clock kit it would be fun to buy a kit like this and build one myself I go to Amazon and look at this clock kit and also different radio build kits and I ordered the Prunus J-166 FM/AM version yesterday. The new Prunus J-166 without weather band seems very good and you were also satisfied with it so it will be interesting to get the new Prunus J-166 and I am also very happy with the Panasonic RF-2400D which arrived a short time ago take care and have a very nice sunday.
I put this together with your help, the instructions weren't great. After a day, some of the digits only partially show now, any ideas why that would happen? Thanks!

Thank you!!
I like how you showed us all the specific tools that you used to assemble the clock.
Thank you very much for the cool video!
Cool departure from the radios.

They even give you pointers about soldering in the instructions :)
Nice video. Would be better with WWVB or Wi-fi synchronization. We shouldn't have to set clocks anymore.
Cool kit clock and can adjust of speed accuracy. Going to check if I can get a 6-digit display. Thank you.

Haha, good luck getting through TSA with that

I would contact Vigurtime and ask if your kit is defective. The numerals shouldn't fail this quickly.
what are the 4 solder points with VCC TX RX and GND for???
to program a microcontroller.
