MINSRADIO – Canadian-Built Top Band Kits, EME Gear, and Custom Ham Radio Solutions
MINSRADIO is a specialized division of MINS Technologies Inc., created by and for amateur radio operators. Based in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, MINSRADIO brings decades of RF engineering and hands-on DX experience to the amateur community, with a strong focus on 160-meter receive systems, emerging microwave EME parts, and custom HF solutions.
From DX to DIY – Built by Hams, for Hams
MINSRADIO was launched in 2006 by Alex VE7IRU, a seasoned top band DXer who turned years of low-band operating expertise into a lineup of high-performance receive kits. Drawing from real-world on-air testing and a background in marine satellite communications, Alex leads a small team of technicians who assemble, test, and ship Canadian-made RX systems and accessories.
