My impression is/was Lunar was a commercial/amateur product line with multiple persons running the business. Lunar also made some rf power amplifiers.
Angle Linear is probably just Chip doing what he seems to do very well... low noise rf preamplifiers. The interesting part of some Lunar Preamplifiers was the 1/4 or 1/2 wave line at the circuit front-end. In addition to the Gasfet preamp brands I mentioned Bob also talked about Janel and Hamtronics. I really, really like the Janel stuff... but as with most good brands they were swallowed up by someone and quickly went away. :-( Past a min technical design, construction and alignment preamps can be a pretty straight-forward desk top project for most people. Since they can be so easily made... even low cost project kits like the Hamtronics and the pre-built Dick Smith Electronics (rip in USA) units are pretty darn good performers. I'm not sure how long the Lunar brand is/was around... but I've seen their ads in a number of old Ham Mags... Maybe someone can get Chip to tell the story some day. cheers, s. > "kf0m" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Skipp you probably already know this but I have pulled the > label off of several Lunar preamps and they always say Angle > Linear underneath the Lunar label. > > John Lock > kf0m at arrl.net >
