Adapter Conductivity Issue & Easy Fix

We have recently discovered a manufacturing issue which could affect any of our adapters sold since early 2025. It won’t impact you if you are only using a Signal Stick™ directly on the radio, but you should watch to be aware of the issue.

TL;DR (TL;DW?)

There is a non-conductive clear coat on all adapters we’ve had manufactured since sometime late 2024 which may interfere with conductivity on the shield of the adapters. It can be pretty easily fixed with some sandpaper, and, for those who prefer, we will be offering to replace adapters once we have unaffected parts in stock. We have made videos showing how to repair everything — see the repair videos.

New Website Released!

🚀 New SignalStuff Website! 🚀

It’s finally here! We’re thrilled to introduce the all-new SignalStuff website, designed to be faster, smarter, and more user-friendly than ever before.

🛠 Why the Change?

Our old site was built on WordPress, and to put it bluntly, it had become ridiculously slow—so slow that some of you gave up trying to place orders, and we’re truly sorry about that. Managing performance on that platform became a losing battle.

Enter the new SignalStuff site, powered by a Vendure backend (check out Vendure if you’re curious). It’s custom-built to be fast, extensible, and much easier to use!

2022 Black Friday sale will be delayed

UPDATE Dec 1, 2022: The sale will begin on Dec 2, 2022 (tomorrow)! Stay tuned for details…. I need to figure them out myself.

Hi all!

I’m going to make a long story really short – I want to do a sale, I really do. Unfortunately, I have almost nothing *to* sell right now, and I don’t want to take your money when I still don’t have a definite date when that will be corrected.

How Signal Sticks™ are made

For some time I’ve been debating the idea of sharing a bit of the “behind the curtain” of how SignalStuff as a company and Signal Sticks™ as a product work; there are a lot of reasons for and against the idea, but my hope is that by adding some clarity around my business it will add some value to the Ham Radio community:
