I see they are also selling the old HF-3 Receiver, still use one occasionally (mk1). Good starter radio for the SWL, surprised they're still going for ?169 though.

RE: Help a small UK firm?
I phoned to ask if I could get a CTCSS board for my AKD 7001, I can't remember who I spoke to but he certainly knew his stuff, I got a brief history of the AKD range & a how & why about the CTCSS boards & 12.5 KHz channel spacing & what they were doing development wise.
I left thinking that the future of Britain's only amateur radio manufacturer was in very good hands.
I have had several bits off them down the years & their HF active antenna is superb, especially at that money.

So I passed this test that allows me to twiddle with knobs, push buttons & call my self an Advanced !!!!!!!

"On 14th October 2011 an agreement was signed with Peter Longhurst for Spectrum Communications to purchase Garex Electronics with effect from 30 November 2011. Peter now aged 74 has decided he no longer wishes to be tied to the manufacture of the proprietary products and wishes to enjoy his retirement."

Re: Help a small UK firm?

Re: Help a small UK firm?
right thanks for the info..i have recieved an email back saying he's moving into other premises on the next floor and my antenna is being sorted..i wouldn't mind so much if he emailed me and said so earlier instead of me waiting like this
