For "mobile" or "fixed" station use &hgellip; feature-packed TRANSCEIVERS for 6 & 2 meters

Clean, functional styling and superb engineering team up to bring you unprecedented performance on the VHF amateur bands in the new Heathkit 6 meter "Shawnee" and 2 meter "Pawnee"! Both models offer complete versatility and operating convenience either as a fixed or mobile station.

The transmitters feature a built-in temperature stabilized VFO and switch-selection of four crystal positions for net, novice, CAP and MARS operation; tracked VFO and exciter stages for convenient single knob tuning over any 500 kc band segment; a "spotting" switch to zero-in signals with transmitter off-the-air; efficient 6360 final RF amplifier for 10 watt output to antenna; built-in low-pass filter to suppress harmonics and other spurious radiation; dual-purpose modulator which doubles as a 15-watt PA amplifier with an added, external speaker; and push-to-talk ceramic element microphone with coil cord and mounting clip.

The sensitive superheterodyne receivers feature double conversion with first oscillator crystal controlled; voltage regulation on all oscillators for high stability; large, illuminated slide-rule dial for both receiver and VFO; an automatically switched panel meter to read received signal strength or relative power output; front panel squelch and noise limiter controls for maximum clarity, minimum noise; 3" x 5" PM speaker for excellent tone; and RF gain, BFO, and AVC on/off controls. The built-in 3-way power supplies feature transformer operation on 117 V AC and heavy-duty, full-wave vibrator for 6 or 12 V DC operation. AC and DC cables are furnished. A primary fused relay controls all power to the transceiver in mobile installations. Sturdy construction features wrap-around steel case, extensive shielding of transmitter, receiver and power supply sections. Mounting bracket included. Recommended for the more experienced kit builder. Average construction time is 70 hours.
