History
The history of S.W.R. Inc. began in 1963 when the company served the United States broadcast industry by supervising RF installations and performing field warranty work. As a result of insufficient reliable transmission lines and the growing UHF market, S.W.R. developed, tested and patented the Thermocoupled rigid coaxial line in 1972, which made similar products obsolete. It was the very first System With Reliability. Know today as the K-lineTM, this transmission line is also suitable for the FM radio transmission market. As a result of this reliable product and an experienced and eager staff, S.W.R. developed a team to continually surpass broadcast industry standards.

The Clarion™ Waveguide Antenna, S.W.R.'s first high-power antenna, and the Posi-Lock™ Waveguide were introduced in 1985 to serve UHF application requirements. In 1990, S.W.R. also provided its customers with a complete line of FM antennas and LPTV antennas for low- and medium-power television transmitters.

Today we are still making history. The S.W.R. Challenger Series antenna was developed to support television station requirements for Digital Television (DTV). Our quality patented design is providing a solution to station owners.
