Before the expedition, we provided three Shackmaster Power 600 units to support the VU4AX team. These units were used to power amplifiers and transceivers during the operation and quickly proved their reliability under extreme conditions. Operating from one of the most remote islands in the Indian Ocean, the VU4AX team ran six stations non-stop under intense heat and humidity — a real challenge for both the operators and their equipment.

We’ve released updates for the portable PC software versions for Fobos SDR 3.0.
These updates bring a clearer signal and reduced noise thanks to the improved DC component filter.
You can now enjoy smoother reception and better demodulation performance across all supported applications.

The RigExpert AA-55 ZOOM has served thousands of radio operators around the world — trusted for its accuracy, stability, and ease of use. Now, after years of excellence, it’s time to turn the page. Starting October 15, 2025, the AA-55 ZOOM will be officially discontinued. But this isn’t goodbye — it’s evolution.

Our revolutionary MATCH upgradeable antenna and cable analyzer just became even more accessible to amateur radio operators worldwide — a step especially important for beginners entering the hobby. To support the community, we have reduced the prices.
