Welcome to FAR Circuits! FAR Circuits is exclusively a manufacturer of Printed Circuit Boards for electronic projects that are
used by the Amateur Radio and electronic hobby enthusiast. We supply boards in any quantity, but are geared toward low
volume and individual circuit board users. We have been in business for over 35 years, and have boards in stock for most of
