These rigs are really cool monoband CW transceivers whose operating frequencies are determined by a "PIC" microcontroller and a Direct Digital Synthesis ( DDS ) chip. Having digital inputs for frequency control, these rigs may also be connected to a PC's printer port for faster frequency selection under program control."...
When mounted in the stock enclosure, a really attractive blue-anodized aluminum affair which measures 1.4" x 4.25" x 4.25" HWD, the rig weighs in at eleven ounces!
Features:
Full-band coverage (and then some)with rock solid frequency stability.
Built-in mode B iambic keyer, 5 to 50 WPM (less paddles)
CW Audio Frequency Annunciation ( on command the rig tells you its transmit frequency )
2-watts nominal rf output power ( with clean keying and note ).
Rotary encoder tuning with detents ( 50 Hz / 200 Hz step sizes )
A really decent superhet receiver with RF gain control and RIT.
See http://www.smallwonderlabs.com for complete specs.

I have no pecuniary interest in Small Wonder Labs or its products.
If you're looking for a rig that's small in size but LARGE in performance, take a DSW out for a spin. I use mine fixed and mobile.
