OBARC does not take affiliate revenue. Vendors earn a spot here because members repeatedly praised their communication, warranty support, and logistics.
Always confirm shipping costs, lead times, and return policies—especially when ordering amplifiers, towers, or custom cables.

Procurement Best Practices
Avoid surprises and keep the board informed.
- Capture quotes or order confirmations as PDFs and upload them to the project folder.
- Ask about restocking fees and return shipping before buying large antennas or amplifiers.
- Document serial numbers immediately; warranties often require registration within 30 days.
- Share your experience—good or bad—so we can update this list quarterly.
