The
Alpha Amplifier and Ten-Tec brands have been sold by RF Concepts to RKR Designs
of Longmont, Colorado. RKR was formed specifically for the purchase. Its
principals are Richard Gall, Ken Long (N0QO) and Rich Danielson (the R, K &
R of RKR). Gall and Danielson have run QSC Systems, a contract manufacturer, in Longmont for over 20 years, and have been building Alpha amps for RF Concepts for the past five years, as well as boards for Ten-Tec since the company's purchase last year by RF Concepts. Long has been involved in the amateur radio and electronics industry for two decades, and will be President and CEO of the new company, according to a news release. RKR says it plans to expand Ten-Tec's and Alpha's offerings while continuing to service existing customers.
