Alpha/Power again in new hands

Alpha Radio Products LLC has announced an agreement with CrossLink Inc and Alpha/Power Inc to take over production and support of the Alpha/Power line of linear amplifiers and
related products.

A January 20 Alpha Radio Products press release says
Alpha/Power will return to its roots and dedicate itself solely to providing high-power RF equipment "for the professional and serious amateur markets." CrossLink acquired the linear amplifier manufacturer in late 2000.

Alpha Radio cited "declining business prospects for CrossLink" for making the ownership change necessary.

Alpha Radio President Molly Hardman, W0MOM, assured all current Alpha amplifiers owners that their warranty and service needs will be met. The company says it will continue
to employ "the same excellent technicians and assemblers" and manufacture and service its products in the current Boulder, Colorado, location. Chief Engineer Gordon Hardman, W0RUN, said Alpha Radio will focus on better control, interface and support components for its amplifiers while leaving primary tube-related components "unchanged and true to their heritage."
