Ramsey Kits Calls it Quits

美国拉姆齐（RAMSEY）装备告别火腿

After more than 40 years as a purveyor of inexpensive electronics kits for hobbyists, the Ramsey Hobby Kits group has thrown in the towel, effective on January 1. The Ramsey RF Test Equipment Group is unaffected by this change.

在为爱好者提供了40多年的廉价电子装备之后，美国拉姆齐（RAMSEY）爱好者装备公司经营不善并关闭其业余无线电爱好者装备制造项目，该决定于1月1日生效。拉姆齐射频测试设备公司不受此次变化影响。

“We end our heritage with a smile, not a frown, and say thank you, to all our customers and fellow hobbyists,” Ramsey’s announcement said.

拉姆齐公司的声明表示：我们对结束这笔宝贵的遗产报以微笑而非愁眉苦脸的态度，感谢所有的顾客和无线电爱好者们。

The Victor, New York, company sold a wide array of hobby kits over the years, starting with its LED Blinky kit in the 1970s and eventually including simple ham radio transmitters and receivers, aircraft band receivers, and other devices. Ramsey kits were frequently available at hamfests.

纽约这家公司这些年销售一系列的业余爱好者装备，从在70年代销售LED播放器套件开始，并最终发展到销售简单的业余无线电发射机和接收机,航空段接收机和其他设备。拉姆齐装备常常在火腿大会上崭露头角。

The company indicated that it will continue to provide technical and warranty support for hobby kits purchased through the end of 2015. Ramsey said its remaining hobby kit inventory has been relocated to Amazon.

公司表示他们将为爱好者在2015年底前所购买的套件继续提供技术和质保服务，拉姆齐公司表示他们的剩余的爱好者装备存货已经搬迁到亚马逊平台进行销售。
