Power-Mite 2 Model PM 2

The Power-Mite 2 Version 1 is the same as the Power Mite 1 with the addition of a baked enamel, walnut grained end panel case. The MX1, AA1, VO1, and TX1 modules are wired into a band-switching 80-40 meter CW transceiver.

The Power-Mite 2 Version 2 has one large circut board with VFO transmit and receive on 80 and 40 meters and crystal controlled transmit on 15 meters. No optional boards were available and no sidetone.

Front panel controls: On-off, Transmit-Receive, Receiver Resonate, VFO-Crystal, Bandswitches, Oscillator tuning, Final Resonate. A meter is provided to monitor final amplifier current.
