I like to listen to radio talk shows but sometimes I am just not around to listen.
One project I have in mind is to build a PIC controlled AM/FM radio with an MP3 recorder.
Can anyone recommend a low parts count Am/FM radio chip? Digital control preferred. Sparkfun has a one chip FM breakout board that looks like it would work but it is only FM.
I could go HD radio and have only FM but how complicated are those to build?
Either way the chip should be DIP or something easy to work with. A breakout board like the FM at sparkfun would be fine.
One thought I had was just to hack of of these but I am having a hard time finding the data sheet.
