The 1OOMX was a completely solid-state 80-10 meter transceiver. Output power was 100 watts PEP on SSB and CW. It was tuned with a PTO and used an 8-pole crystal filter in its 9 MHz IF. The 10OMX operated directly from 11-15 VDC.
The 100 MX mobile transceiver is completely solid state and incorporates state-of-the-art design and styling. It features a highly reliable, extremely stable Permeability Tuned Oscillator (PTO) with 1-kHz readout resolution; built-in noise blanker and VOX; semi-break-in CW with sidetone; Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT); 25-kHz built-in calibrator and preselector for transmit and receive.
Modes of operation include USB, LSB, and CW. Out-of-the-box frequency coverage on 10 meters is 28.5–29.0 MHz. Extended frequency coverage in 500-kHz segments of the 10-meter band (28.0–28.5; 29.0–29.5; 29.5–30.0) is achieved by replacing the standard crystal with an optional crystal for the desired segment. No realignment is required.
The receiver sensitivity is better than 0.35 uV at 50 ohms for 10 dB signal plus noise-to-noise ratio for all bands. Audio output is four watts into a 4-ohm load.
Audio bandpass response is 300 to 3000 Hertz. Provisions for an external speaker or headphones are on the rear pane
