The DMRadio series of experiments uses magnetic fields to convert axion dark matter into electromagnetic signals. These signals are then resonantly enhanced using lumped element high-Q LC circuits coupled to readout devices such as dc SQUIDS or Radio-frequency Quantum Upconverters. DMRadio-m3 and DMRadio-GUT, two experiments in the series, have projected sensitivity to axions at DFSZ coupling in the 0.4-800 neV range (100 kHz - 200 MHz Compton frequencies), corresponding to symmetry breaking scales as high as GUT scales. In this talk, I will present lumped element detection of axions as well as details of DMRadio-m3 and DMRadio-GUT.
