• Transporta portable transistor radio kitsets. Designed by Radio, TV & Hobbies magazine and used components supplied by various vendors advertising in the magazine. There were six kitset designs from 1958 to 1963. Printed circuit boards were manufactured by RCS Radio of Sydney.

  The Transporta 7 was designed by Neville Williams.

  The Transporta 7 has an extra IF stage to give a better signal/noise ratio compared to the Transporta 6. A GD4 diode is also added to provide AVC to control the gain in high signal areas.
