The Spitfire employs an updated RF output and modulator stages with new features that results in very low distortion modulation right up 100%, and an almost indestructible output stage.
The Spitfire has a two channel mixer for either Stereo to Mono or twin channel Mono audio sources.
The Spitfire has a totally new ATU (Antenna Tuning Unit) which has an variable capacitor to peak the network to match a 3 Metre Antenna as specified under Part 15 rules.
The Spitfire printed circuit board uses a grounding technique that splits the RF and Audio grounds, as well as providing and external grounding point. In addition a new external "universal" power supply provides regulated DC power to the transmitter.
