DX Engineering Acquires Clifton Laboratories

For decades, Clifton Laboratories has been at the leading edge of Ham Radio technology, making preamplifiers and filters with unparalleled performance characteristics. Now, that tradition of quality will continue under the DX Engineering brand. DX Engineering recently acquired exclusive rights to Clifton Laboratories’ Amateur Radio gear.

Several Clifton Labs parts, with similar design specs and impeccable quality are now built by DX Engineering and carry the DX Engineering name. There are many Clifton Laboratories Amateur Radio products that are or will be manufactured, including popular filters, preamplifiers and the buffer amp. DX Engineering is also committed to offering parts and tech support for owners of Clifton Laboratories’ legacy products.

Fans of Elecraft’s K-series transceivers are very familiar with the Clifton name. The company has a series of filters, preamplifiers, adapters and other enhancement products tailored precisely to these well-liked HF radios. DX Engineering will ensure that this Elecraft-specific gear will be refined and supported.

Also included in the transition is Clifton Laboratories’ RF filters, like the Z10020 medium wave band reject filter. Designed for Amateur Radio operators battling interference from strong or nearby AM broadcast band commercial radio signals, the Z10020 can deliver up to 80 dB of signal rejection. 

DX Engineering DXE-Z10000 Buffer Amps were made available in 2018. This is an updated layout based on the popular Clifton Lab Z10000B, and it will be offered in various kits that support installation into popular radios.

DX Engineering DXE-Z10046B-PM High-Gain Preamp is in stock and the DXE-Z10043B will available later in 2020.  Both are plug-in modules like the DXE-RPA-2-PM to fit into the  DXE-NCC-2, the DXE-RTR-2, and the stand-alone 2-slot accessory chassis model DXE-DMC-2.
