Questions
How big is the Regen radio PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Regen radio use?
47 parts, built around the LM386. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Regen radio KiCad files?
From the radioclub/projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is regen-radio/regen-radio.kicad_pcb and its schematic regen-radio/regen-radio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Regen radio design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
