Williams Sound PFM 7 Personal FM System

The Williams Sound PFM 7 personal FM system was produced by the Williams Sound Corporation of Chicago somewhere in the 1980s.

It was a small battery-operated transistorized portable FM system consisting of a transmitter and a receiver.

Each unit measured 3 9/16" x 2⅜" x 15/16" (9.1 x 6.1 x 2.4 cm) and weighed 2.4 oz (68 g) without a battery.

This FM system had a range of about 150 feet and operated in the 72 - 76 mHz band.

You could plug the microphone from the FM transmitter unit into the microphone jack of the PFM 7 FM receiver. Then you could use this FM receiver as a personal amplifier (much like the PockeTalker) when it wasn't being used as a FM receiver.
