AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

      This Amendment No. 1, dated February 14, 2006, to Schedule 13D is filed by
the Reporting Person and amends Schedule 13D as previously filed by the
Reporting Person with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2004
(the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common stock (the "Common Stock") of R F
Industries, LTD., a Nevada corporation. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety, as follows:

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      On January 14, 2005, Mr. Hill sold 20,000 shares in an open market sale.
On September 30, 2005 the Registrant repurchased from Mr. Hill outstanding,
currently exercisable stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Registrant's stock for an aggregate price of $551,000. As a result, the number
of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hill decreased to 346,000 shares (10.2% of
the Registrant's Common Stock). All shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hill are
shares issuable upon the exercise of options that are either currently
exercisable or will become exercisable within the next sixty days. The options
are held in the name of the Howard F. and Patricia A. Hill Family Trust. Mr.
Hill has the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of those
options, and, should he exercise those options and receive shares, the sole
power to vote or direct the vote of those shares.

                                    Signature

      After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.

Date:  February 14, 2006
