Advance the Hobby
The simple goal is to develop tools that move the hobby forward — and give more hams access to expanding their experiences with amateur radio.
Simplify Everything
The hardware world is full of unnecessarily hard things. KI6CR Labs takes complex electronics and makes them approachable — without dumbing them down. A well-designed kit should be a pleasure to build and use.
Premium Experience
From the packaging, to the instructions, to thoughtfully engineered tools — our goal is that the kit builder genuinely enjoys the process. That means paying attention to every detail of the experience.
Hi, I’m Chris — KI6CR
I’m a licensed amateur radio operator based in Southern California. I enjoy Summits on the Air — getting out into the field and making contacts from mountain summits.
The projects here started as things I built for myself. It didn’t take long to realize others would benefit from them too. This site is a direct result of wanting to share these tools with the broader community — to advance and enhance the hobby.
