We're Back!! First let me say thanks to all the hams in the US and around the world for your support. If it hadn't been for all your emails and phone calls offering kind words of support and encouragement during our recent trouble with the FCC we probably would not be around today. It's nice to know there are still folks out there who care. All hams located outside the United States and its territories may order anything on this website. The FCC has no jurisdiction over items marketed for sale outside the United States and its territories. This has been confirmed in writing by Gary Hendrickson (ghendric@fcc.gov) and Riley Hollingsworth (rholling@fcc.gov) of the FCC.
Hams located in the U.S. and its territories may NOT order our amplifier kits or assembled amplifiers. Section 97.3(a)(19) of the FCC rules defines an external RF amplifier kit as "a number of electronic parts, which, when assembled, is an external RF power amplifier, even if additional parts are required to complete assembly." The only company allowed by the FCC to sell non certified RF amplifier kits (as defined above) is Communication Concepts (http://www.communication-concepts.com). They are a monopoly with which I am not allowed to compete. Please contact them if you wish to purchase a kit.
U.S. hams MAY PURCHASE anything advertised on this site that is NOT an RF amplifier kit or an assembled RF amplifier. You may order an assembly manual, heatsinks, cabinets, fans, meters, filter kits etc. In other words, you can order everything except the internal electronic parts from us. The assembly manual will tell you exactly what electronic parts you need to complete the amplifier kit and where to obtain them. The marketing and sale to U.S. hams of all items advertised on this site that are NOT RF amplifier kits or assembled RF amplifiers has been approved in writing by Gary Hendrickson of the FCC.

Vern Wright/W6MMA at http://www.superantennas.com has owned one of our Skymaster KW amps for a long time and guarantees that his KW-3 screwdriver antenna (rated at 2KW PEP) will handle it with no problems. Vern has been involved in the design of mobile and portable antennas for many years and is an expert in the field.
Jim at http://www.hsantennas.com/info makes the popular line of High Sierra antennas. These antennas work well with our Skywalker 500W amp. They are rated at 800W PEP so if used with the Skymaster KW care must be taken not to exceed this rating.
http://www.eham.net is a new site containing reviews of ham equipment (including our amplifiers) written by customers.
