Let your conscience be your guide.
 
So you joined this forum just to bad mouth someone? Do you have any proof of your claims?
 
You think thats bad heck I DJed lastnight at a big party and still havent got an apology call from them about feeding me Crown Royal all night!!!

On a serious note I actually emailed this place myself about some of there amplifiers and have not heard anything back from them so Red Flag for me. I believe I also tried calling aswell and left a message again no return call :w00t::eek:
 
Thanks for the info,

I was thinking about getting one for my 28mhz radio...73s de JW
 
Ya I started looking at his equipment because it was priced really good for what you were suppose to get thats what really got my attention but I soon relized cheaper doesn't mean better.My thought is do the research and pay a little more and buy from a VERRY reputable company and please don't make the same mistake as I did,heck I did 3 months of research before I bought these amps and thought all was good but I soon found out I was wrong and sol,but what do I do know he's 2000 miles away and I am in Idaho.I guess life goes on and I learned for the experience and need everyone to do the same!Thanks for all the support!!!
 
i called skywalker several months ago asking about the MOSFET amps . as ahanway said for the watts per dollar their base and mobile mosfets seem like great prices . anyhow , i asked if he could tel me which MOSFET's he uses to see if he was using ones designed for amplifying rf signals , but he wouldn't tell me . i asked since the amps had SSB switches what bias class they were , once again he didn't want to say . he seemed concerned someone would copy his design or what ever . but it just seemed to me like the old ampower line of "by my amp and see for yourself" . at least adam does have some folks that are happy with his product . i still haven't found anyone bragging about their skywalker product , but if seen several comments in forums with folks complaining about them .


he does however have a hell of a nice looking puck mount !!!

A few mounths ago i orderd a 600 watt mosfet base amp, got it on time and thought everything was good. Had a small problem with amp so i took the top off and guess what, not a mosfet amp it was one 2290x two 2879. I called and told them thay sent the wrong amp and receaved a big line of hogwash. I just kept the amp and called it quits on Skywalker. I have two of thear amps and thay work pretty well but from now on i'm going with a different brand.
 
As far as I am concerned, Tony just validated his "bad mouthing".

Possibly. If not though, the other people on this thread certainly did.


Look at the bottom of his website on the contact page, possibly more for this "[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Special thanks to Bozo at CircusMobile.com "

Maybe he learned from the pros?

Wow,So I'am not the only one with these problems in this sittuation...
 
Ya the funny thing is he accually called me the yesterday on accident and then hung up on me so I proceeded to call him back seconds later and threw out the day and he would not answer!!!I was trying to disspute it with the credit card company and they had addvised that I have to ship it back with my own money and wait 30 days before they would ever think about doing a claim on it,but I didn't want to ship it and totally have nothing since he wasn't even returning my calls or anything...
 
So you joined this forum just to bad mouth someone? Do you have any proof of your claims?

I really just want people to know what happend in this situation so they don't get ripped off like I did and maybe Jack from Skywalker might just might see this article and fix the problem like he had told me he was going to do But NEVER did...
