Next-Gen Ham Radio Gear

by VU2PTT for VUCG


Custom-engineered components, custom kits, and premium RF accessories built for modern operators.

Active Receive Loop Antennas

Active Receive Loop Antennas

Highly regarded by shortwave listeners (SWLs) and amateur radio operators for its ability to drastically reduce local electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provide clear, low-noise reception across the VLF, LF, MF, and HF spectrum. We provide the LZ1AQ open design which has been modified as well as loops based on W7IUV preamps.

Rx Maestro Transceiver Interface

Rx Maestro Transceiver Interface to Receive Antennas

RX Maestro is a custom amateur radio transceiver interface and noise-mitigation device used alongside specialized receive-only magnetic loop and other antennas to eliminate local urban interference like street lighting noise. It allows radios with a single antenna port to integrate a separate Receive antenna.

High Power Antenna Switches

2-4-6-8 Way High Power Antenna Switches

High-power antenna switches frequently used in amateur radio (ham radio) and professional RF setups allowing operators to route kilowatt-level signals from transceivers to multiple antennas safely. Options of auto bandswitching with a Wifi connected controller and old style mechanical control switches.

PD-SDR Dual Receiver SDR

PD-SDR Dual Receiver SDR designed by Pavel Demin

A high-performance SDR receiver built on Pavel Demin's open hardware platform. Utilizes a XC7Z020 FPGA board, functioning similarly to a Red Pitaya but at roughly one-third of the cost. Extensively used by amateur radio operators as a high-efficiency Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) skimmer and FT8 receiver. Supports dual receivers and multi-slice wideband monitoring through software like Thetis SDR.

TRX Maestro SDR Switch

TRX Maestro SDR and transceiver Switch

TRX Maestro is a custom amateur radio transceiver and SDR dual interface and noise-mitigation device used alongside specialized receive-only magnetic loop and other antennas to eliminate local urban interference like street lighting noise. It allows radios with a single antenna port to integrate a separate Receive antenna and also provides options to swap antennas in use between a separate SDR and the main radio.

WiFi Antenna Controller

2 to 8 Way WiFi Antenna Controller

This WiFi based network controller can work with any standard antenna switch - with configurable high side or low side switching. It can control each switch position by band using a band matrix. On Auto mode it will track the logging program to change antennas based on the band in use. A classic manual switch is also provided to quickly override and shut down the network WiFi operation if required.
