  • Notes

  • The Heathkit PM-1 Power Meter is designed to sample the RF field in the vicinity of your transmitter; marine, mobile or fixed.  Operates with any transmitter having output frequencies between 100 kHz and 250 MHz, regardless of power.  Sensitivity is 0.3 volts RMS full scale and a special control on the panel allows further adjustment of sensitivity.  The meter is a 200 microampere unit, mounted on a chrome-plated brass panel.  Shipping weight 2 lbs.


    (The notes were adapted from the 1958 Heathkit catalog.  The unit is more correctly termed a field-strength meter. The device uses a germanium diode.) See also the later PM-2.  The schematic for the PM-2 applies to the PM-1.
