THIS PRODUCT IS NOW DISCONTINUED

With over 30 years experience in building HF amplifiers our current amplifiers reaffirm our commitment to supply top quality, hand built, rugged units that will give many years of hard working service.

The amplifiers are built on a CNC cut and folded steel chassis that is rigid and hard wearing. The front panel is bolted directly to the front of the chassis.

Our high performance UK manufactured toroidal transformer is bolted straight to the chassis using a strengthened support to allow transportation without risk of damage.

The Challenger uses a single Russian GS35B triode. An 8877 can be specified as an extra cost option if required.

Our carefully designed and individually optimised input matching board ensures low VSWR on all bands from 160 to 10 including WARC.

All amplifiers are designed and hand crafted here in the UK using locally sourced materials wherever possible and come with a 1 year warranty on the tube and a TWO YEAR WARRANTY on the amplifier.

Every amplifier is hand tested on every band and burnt in overnight at full output to ensure it leaves here ready to perform and keep performing.
