AM/FM/SW/LW Receiver

[ProffessorV]

I'm looking to make a receiver for AM/FM/SW/LW broadcasts, I found the Si4735-D60 which can do all of that, plus it has a bunch of other features that would make it easy for me to use it as a receiver and can be implemented with an arduino using the PU2CLR SI4735 Library for Arduino. The only issue is that I have been unable to find any breakout boards for this chip, it only comes in the surface mount form factor and while SparkFun had two different boards those seem to have been discontinued many years ago. Does anyone know if I can get breakout boards for this easily or if there is another chip that would work better here?

 

Many thanks

you could really just make your own breakout. 
if you are not able to solder smt stuff right now, you can get a test socket for fairly cheap and smash it into a breadboard.
