Yeah, SwicthKit, you got my drift, alright. Didn't mean to sound as if I was bad-mouthing the radio. It shares nearly all the design traits of the SSB/AM/FM RCI-made radios built in the larger chassis. They basically shrunk the "EPT3600" radio sold by the millions, by completely leaving out all the SSB stuff, rather than just leaving the holes empty where the SSB parts go. That's how the two-digit Galaxy DX 33/44/55/66 radios are built, using the SSB circuit board and chassis, with only the AM/FM parts installed.
Same underlying design, same folks fabricating it, but with a different schematic, different parts callout IDs/locations.
Nothing a seasoned tech can't make sense out of with some thought and attention.
Not a good choice as a "starter" project. The more explicit, complete the tech data is, the better chance a "civilian" has.
Without that resource to guide you, that model is safer to put in the hands of a pro for any technical work or modifications.
When it works right, it should sound just like a million other AM/FM-only RCI-made radios.
