| DX Engineering Affiliate Program Launched its affiliate program in late 2025 via Impact; the public program announcement states a flat 5% USD commission and a 14-day attribution window. This is a newer program with limited independent track record — confirm category exclusions, eligible products and payout terms directly with DX Engineering/Impact before forecasting income. | DX Engineering | 5% on qualifying sales (publicly stated) | 14-day referral window | impact.com | Amateur radio equipment and accessories |
| Amazon Associates Covers budget handhelds (e.g., Baofeng-class units), programming cables and ARRL books in one cart, which matters for a beginner audience assembling several small-ticket items at once. Electronics commission rates are among Amazon's lowest; verify the current published rate card before modeling revenue, and do not assume HF transceivers or specialty ham gear are reliably in stock or eligible. | Amazon | Category-dependent; consumer electronics generally pays a low single-digit rate | 24 hours (standard Amazon Associates cookie window) | Amazon Associates | Handheld radios, accessories, books |
