Title: A single FREQ radio donation perk? But what really is it?
Post by: ThaDood on March 05, 2019, 2045 UTC

LPFM station WTSQ-LP 88.1FM Charleston, WV, USA, wtsq.org , is doing their annual fund drive and offering perks. But, check out this perk! A single FM FREQ radio set to RX only 88.1MHz. Is this a regenerative receiver? Scroll down from this link to check out this perk.   https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/wtsq-88-1-fm-charleston-wv-annual-fundraiser-2019#/

The Public Radio,    https://www.thepublicrad.io/    I may go e-mail them to inquire what these really are.

Probably based on a TDA7000 chip.

Its not really a single frequency radio since it can be tuned, even though the tuning is a bit inconvenient.

When do they start giving away the radios that only get 9330Khz ?    ;D

That mason jar "public radio" looks like a terrific way to compete with smart speakers. Hopefully it sounds as good.
