Manufacturer: Linton

Behind the growing recognition of Linton radios in the amateur community stands Quanzhou Feijie Electronic Co., Ltd., a company that has been building quality wireless communication equipment since 1983. Operating under the Linton brand, this manufacturer brings over four decades of experience to the ham radio market from Quanzhou—widely recognized as the birthplace of China’s professional communications equipment industry.

Regulatory Standing and Certifications

Linton holds the distinction of being the first manufacturer approved by China’s National Radio Regulatory Commission and maintains certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The company has achieved ISO9001:2008 certification and secured various European and American approvals, enabling global distribution with quality assurance that meets international standards.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

The company operates from a 10,000 square meter facility featuring modern anti-static, dust-free workshops with controlled environmental conditions. Production capabilities include professional high-speed SMT placement equipment, while testing facilities encompass network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and comprehensive reliability testing including temperature cycling, vibration, drop testing, and salt spray corrosion evaluation.

This rigorous testing approach proves particularly valuable for amateur radio applications where equipment reliability can be critical during emergency communications. The industrial-grade testing protocols indicate engineering focused on long-term durability rather than just meeting minimum specifications.

Market Focus and Industry Position

While Linton has expanded into amateur radio, their origins lie in professional and public safety communication systems. This background brings industrial-grade design standards and experience with mission-critical applications to ham radio products. Their focus on cost-effective solutions that conserve frequency resources aligns well with amateur radio’s spectrum stewardship principles.

With products reaching markets across America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, Linton has established itself as a recognized player in global communications equipment. For amateur radio operators, this represents a manufacturer with serious industrial credentials offering feature-rich equipment at accessible price points—products designed for reliability rather than just competitive pricing.
