> 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." For more information, visit the Alpha Radio Products Web site
