FM Radio in a Mint Tin

If you know me, you know I like to build electronics. It doesn't always have to be radio-based, as I've built many things using Arduinos and Raspberry Pis. Today, I want to put something together that is both practical, fun and creative! And one day, it could even be useful in emergencies when information is crucial.

Attempting to Repair a Uniden PRO500D CB: Part II

Picking up last time where we left off, I bought a mid-1980s Uniden radio off of eBay for around $10. After a quick smoke test, I found that there was no transmit audio or receive audio. I swapped out what appeared to be a shorted 7808 8V regulator and a TDA1905 audio amp chip. The receive audio came back to life, but I was still in the dark with no transmit audio. Still, a step in the right direction.
