Vibroplex acquires International Radio Corporation

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mike (K8RAT) who shares this press release from Vibroplex:

Vibroplex LLC of Knoxville, TN announces the acquisition of International Radio Corporation of Aptos, CA.

The sale was finalized on September 23. International Radio, commonly referred to as "Inrad", is the leading manufacturer of aftermarket and OEM crystal filters for Amateur Radio transceivers and receivers with some 250 different models currently available for present day equipment and obsolete gear dating as far back as the 1950's.

Inrad is presently the OEM roofing filter supplier for the popular Elecraft K3/K3S series of HF transceivers. The last day of operations in California was September 22. Inrad is now up and running at the Vibroplex offices in Tennessee but the backlog of present orders on hand will take several more days to fill.

The former and new owners say thank you to the Amateur Radio community for more than 40 years of Inrad business. Inquiries about Inrad can be directed to the main Vibroplex email address at vibroplex@vibroplex.com orsales@inrad.net
