A planar waveguide of constant width with two non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Robin boundary conditions is introduced in the paper. The spectrum of this system is studied in the regime when the boundary coupling function is a compactly supported perturbation of a homogeneous coupling. It is proved that the essential spectrum is positive and independent of such perturbation, and the radial spectrum is empty.
