PC Electronics began as an Amateur Radio hobby designing circuits for transmitting and receiving ATV, UHF varactor multipliers and also teletype for use on Air Force MARS teletype traffic nets. As a result of writing articles on these circuits for 73 and West Coast Amateur magazines, many hams asked for printed circuit boards. The company name was chosen in 1965 as PC Electronics from making Printed Circuit boards part time in our garage and expanded over time to a variety of complete stuffed, soldered and tested boards. This was a decade before Personal Computers and we started getting blind calls from those looking for computer gear.

Our first 70cm ATV downconverter design.

In the mid to late 70's we expanded to producing packaged ready to go ATV downconverters and in 1977 the company became a full time business with the production of the TC-1 Transceiver. They were manufactured until about 1985 wth various upgrades.

10 Watt 70cm ATV transceiver - first shown at the A5 Magazine booth at the Dayton Hamvention in 1977.
