A range of short wave to UHF all mode receivers are produced along with data communication products and associated accessories. Waters & Stanton began in 1973 as a partnership between Peter Waters & Jeff Stanton who decided to pool their interests in amateur radio and Hi-Fi and start up Waters & Stanton Electronics based in Hockley. From those early days, progress has been steady and consistent with the company becoming a PLC in the 1990s with ISO registration. Whilst their roots in amateur radio have remained very firm and their leadership in the UK amateur radio market strong, the company has moved into other areas of electronics and communications.
