S-COM, LLC, has been around since the 1980’s manufacturing repeater controllers and air-to-ground base stations. From the Big Board, MRC100, 5K, 6K, 7K and 7330, many thousands of S-COM controllers are on the air right now running repeaters, autopatches, remote bases and link systems in amateur radio and commercial service.
I joined S-COM in 1995 to add the Doug Hall RBI-1 support to the 7K. That partnership continues thru the popular 7330 that was discontinued due to supply chain issues, not due to lack of interest. Firmware releases continue taking advantage of existing hardware features.
JHK Labs is continuing the S-COM legacy by developing the next generation of S-COM controller. This generation adds modern (for 2024) interfaces and software capabilities. Stay tuned for more.
JHK Labs will offer additional products in other areas: RoIP Linking, Site Management and Ham Shack accessories. Generally, these are projects I took on to simplify the deployment and maintenance of repeater sites deployed across Colorado. We realize that others can benefit from them as well and are making them available. For Ham Shack accessories, this is a general category that includes items that would be extremely useful during Field Day, POTA, SOTA and other deployments. Check back for additions to this selection.
If there’s a solution you are looking for that you haven’t found anywhere else, drop us an email. We might already be working on a project in that area.
