Yes it does have inductors, and its selectivity is a little better than the Philips one. I wouldn't be able to make one because the inductors are specially made for the radio and I would needf to buy a minimum of 10,000 of them. The tuning capacitor is also specially made for the radio.HiTech said:I'll bet you that $1 am/fm clock radio has a number of inductors in it too and has better selectivity than that Phillips chip radio.
