ESP32-S3 SI4732 pocket multiband receiver ST7789 1.9″ IPS display using Lilygo T-Display S3, open-source sketch by Ralph Xavier. This sketch runs on Lilygo T-Display S3 device (and also T-Embed by changing Pins). It is a complete radio capable to tune LW, MW, SW on AM and SSB mode and also receiver the regular comercial stations.
Features: AM; SSB; LW/MW/SW; external mute circuit control; AGC; Attenuation gain control; SSB filter; CW; AM filter; 1, 5, 10, 50 and 500kHz step on AM and 10Khz step on SSB
ESP32 OLED_ALL_IN_ONE sketch from PU2CLR ported to the Lilygo T-Display S3.
This is a porting of ESP32 OLED_ALL_IN_ONE sketch from PU2CLR (Ricardo Caratti) using the clean and beautiful Volos interface.
Using a Lilygo T-Display S3, which is an ESP32S3 board with a 1.9-inch display with a 8-Bit Parallel Interface, but I believe it will also run on Lilygo T-Embed with some minor changes.

My unit appears to be 2 kHz off in the ham bands, possibly due to faulty hardware. I believe this issue also occurred with the original firmware. Is there a workaround in the source code I can do to compensate for this?
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the project. A friendly guy from China sent me the receiver. It works great! I am curious if there will follow any updates, for example WiFi-access or FT8-decoding :-))
