Copper Electronics

Looks like Copper Electronics is out of the amplifier business altogether.
Nothing shows up on their AMP page anymore.

I noticed that the other day. They must have gotten a letter from the FCC or something.

Right I was wondering myself. Had a box in my cart, got called to work for 20 hours came back and everything was gone. Oh well. I really didn't need it but just wanted it. They were sold out of almost everything Maybe they stopped or got a visit. We'll see Time will tell but the place is under new ownership.
Maybe I'll go over there and buy a Dosy and an A99 to help keep them in business.
There's been a run on radio stuff like the 70s and 80s with all this covid stuff . one tech said he sold 25 new ranger 69vhp base in a couple days. Yeah he sold out the next day

Picked up ten hand mikes this afternoon.

The advantage of being a few miles away. Saves on shipping.

What they do or don't run out of is unpredictable.

I just got their New Catalog a month ago . It had & insert in it but all were Texas Star Amps . So they must still have them ? But on the " Down Low " . Must say I didn't care for the $$$ ! Stay Healthy & Safe ! 73 & God Bless ! Leo

I’ve only purchased from Copper twice, but have no complaints with their service.

It seems lots of folks were short on Texasstar amps this spring..whether that was a supply shortage, or the influx of Coronavirus money...I don’t know.

As far as Copper pulling the plug in amps, I always thought the “CW transmitter” schtick would only last so long. Lol.

I had been buying from copper for 20+ years. Bought a dosy meter (yeah i know) and it wasnt correct from the factory and not as advertised so i asked to return it and was told NO i had to send it to dosy at my expense. I told copper that was unacceptable and was told too bad. So since i paid with paypal i opened a case and 3 days later copper decided to take the meter back and refund my money. Suzanne who is supposed to be customer service is a bitch to talk to.
Its Bells from now on.

I called and was told that all TS stuff was sold out to check the website for updates. Don't Know when but that's all the info I got

Friend of mine that is in the business said that Texas Star told him there was a shortage of HG transistors. He got one available Texas Star HD 350, and had it sold before the package arrived. He says he can't get any more until production picks back up.

They don’t use HGs.

They don’t use HGs.

Which ever it was there was a shortage of transistors. I thought he said HG. Don't matter what it is because he can't get any to sell because of the shortage.

Maco stopped making antennas and most places have been sold out of a lot of models so im not surprised.
