Lol, kits no problem. It’s that business of understanding why and how it works. I’ve tinkered with guitar pedal kits over the years never really understood what did what and why or how it did what it did. I did learn however that not all components of the same type were not equal by brand or even year made. Which made it all the more confusing! Like amp tubes, I finally gave up chasing those around. Sometimes with subtle changes and sometimes huge changes to sound and not always in the direction I sought. I don’t know why, but it’s some kind of mojo magic I’ve never been able to grasp for some reason. All of which has given me a great admiration for those who do grasp and understand it so well. It really is a fascinating science that seems to have no end in sight, not to mention the part it plays in all of the universe. Lol, it’s mind blowing to my feeble pea brain and I can’t help but feel I’m missing out on something cool because of that!
Never could get these to work in the middle of nowhere because we had no strong AM stations, but here I'm close enough to a couple that I had my choice of far-right religion or sports talk radio. Eh....
But hey. crystal radio is cool, and this thing is surprisingly good (although not very selective) at receiving stuff when there are decent signals.
Yeah, I've got it amplified because the earpiece in the kit needs repair, it has a broken wire from sitting curled up since the 90s.
