ICStation DIY BT MP3 Player FM Radio Kit Review

The Portable ICStation GY20370 DIY Bluetooth, MP3 Player, FM Radio Kit is Powered by USB, or an 18650. Expect a Fun, and Easy Build. I spent more time wiring, and building the enclosure then I did soldering the LED Display Board. The Finished Project Looks Sharp, and Sounds Good! The battery protection board provided may work well, but I opted to use a TP4056 Charging Circuit. I recommend picking up a dozen, or so of these charging boards for future projects.

Podcasts, and Old Time Radio Sound Great on this Device.
Micro SD, or USB Thumb Drives can be Used.
Removable FM Antenna.
Panel Mounted Power Switch.

Overall, this Kit is Worth Building. I love it for BT, and MP3 Playback. With that said, if you don't need to go Portable, the BT/MP3 only Kit with the Remote is the way to go.
