Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2014
Notes to Financial Statements	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Note 1 –
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Organization
	and
	basis of presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company’s reportable segments are Cable Television (“Cable TV”) and Telecommunications (“Telco”).
	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents includes demand and time deposits, money market funds and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
	Accounts receivable
	Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts.  Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.  Trade receivables are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts.
	Inventories
	Inventories consist of new and used electronic components for the Cable Television segment and used telecommunications networking equipment for the Telco segment.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market with market defined principally as net realizable value.  Cost is determined using the weighted-average method.  For the Cable Television segment, the Company records an inventory reserve provision to reflect inventory at its estimated realizable value based on a review of inventory quantities on hand, historical sales volumes and technology changes. These reserves are to provide for items that are potentially slow-moving, excess or obsolete. For the Telco segment, the Company does not maintain an inventory reserve as this segment will recycle any surplus and obsolete equipment on hand through its recycling program when it is identified.
	Property and equipment
	Property and equipment consists of software, office equipment, warehouse and service equipment and buildings with estimated useful lives generally of 3 years, 5 years, 10 years and 40 years, respectively.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remainder of the lease agreement.  Gains or losses from the ordinary sale or retirement of property and equipment are recorded in other income (expense). Repairs and maintenance costs are generally expensed as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized.  Depreciation expense was $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not amortized and is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company performs this annual analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis.
	The goodwill analysis is a two-step process. Goodwill is first evaluated for impairment by comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a computation of the implied fair value of goodwill would then be compared to its related carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount of the excess. Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, to determine the estimated fair value of its reporting units. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our estimate of future cash flows used to determine the estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in the recognition of different levels of impairment charges in the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, so goodwill was not impaired.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 10 years.
	Income taxes
	The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax carryforward amounts.  Management provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for amounts which are not considered “more likely than not” to be realized.
	Revenue recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue for product sales when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable and the collection of the related receivable is probable, which is generally at the time of shipment.  The stated shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point per the Company's sales agreements with its customers.  Accruals are established for expected returns based on historical activity.  Revenue for repair services is recognized when the repair is completed and the product is shipped back to the customer. Revenue for recycle services is recognized when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable and the collection of the related receivable is probable, which is generally upon acceptance of the shipment at the recycler’s location.
	Freight
	Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are included in sales income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Actual costs for shipping and handling of these sales are included in cost of sales.
	Advertising costs
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was $0.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2014 and $0.2 million for each of the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Management estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Any significant, unanticipated changes in product demand, technological developments or continued economic trends affecting the cable or telecommunications industries could have a significant impact on the value of the Company's inventory and operating results.
	Concentrations of credit risk
	The Company holds cash with one major financial institution, which at times exceeds FDIC insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses due to such concentration of credit risk.
	Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk.  The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.  The Company performs in-depth credit evaluations for all new customers but does not require collateral to support customer receivables.  The Company had no customer in 2014, 2013 or 2012 that contributed in excess of 10% of the total net sales.  The Company’s sales to foreign (non-U.S. based customers) were approximately $3.6 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In 2014, the Cable TV segment purchased approximately 14% of its inventory either directly from Cisco or indirectly through their primary stocking distributor and approximately 32% of its inventory from Arris Solutions, Inc.  The concentration of suppliers of the Company’s inventory subjects the Company to risk. The Telco segment purchased approximately 13% of its total inventory purchases from Windstream.
	Employee stock-based awards
	Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair value over the requisite service period. The Company determines the fair value of the options issued, using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and amortizes the calculated value over the vesting term of the stock options. Compensation expense for stock-based awards is included in the operating, selling, general and administrative expense section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
	Earnings per share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include any dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock.
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
	FASB ASC 820,
	Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
	defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
		●	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
		●	Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured.
		●	Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value.
	Recent
	ly Issued Accounting Standards
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08: “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)”. This new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift in operations that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. This guidance will require additional disclosures for discontinued operations as well as new disclosures for individually significant disposal transactions that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This guidance was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	Note 2 – Acquisition
	As part of the Company’s growth strategy, the Company is pursuing an acquisition strategy to expand into the broader telecommunications industry. On February 28, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Nave Communications, a telecommunications distributor of used telecommunication networking equipment and a recycler of surplus and obsolete telecommunications equipment. This acquisition, along with its retained management team, will diversify the Company’s business outside of the cable television industry and will also allow the Company to capitalize on growth opportunities in both the cable television and telecommunication industries.
	The purchase price for Nave Communications includes the following:
	Cash payments, net of cash received		$	9,630,647
	Deferred guaranteed payments (a)			2,744,338
	Net purchase price		$	12,374,985
		(a)	This amount represents the present value of $3.0 million in deferred payments, which will be paid in equal annual installments over the next three years. Over the three year period, the Company will ratably record interest expense with the offset being the deferred payment liability. As of September 30, 2014, the deferred guaranteed payments balance is $1.0 million in other current liabilities and $1.8 million in other long-term liabilities.
	Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to Nave Communications’ net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of February 28, 2014, the effective date of the acquisition. Any remaining amount is recorded as goodwill.
	The following summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at February 28, 2014:
			(in thousands)
	Assets acquired:
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	113
	Accounts receivable			1,651
	Inventories			2,503
	Property and equipment			406
	Other non-current assets			120
	Intangible assets			7,107
	Goodwill			2,760
	Total assets acquired			14,660
	Liabilities assumed:
	Accounts payable			1,821
	Accrued expenses			275
	Capital lease obligation – current portion			21
	Capital lease obligation			55
	Total liabilities assumed			2,172
	Net assets acquired			12,488
	Less cash acquired			113
	Net purchase price		$	12,375
	The acquired intangible assets of approximately $7.1 million consist primarily of customer relationships, technology, trade name, and non-compete agreements with the former owners.
	The Company will also make payments over the next three years equal to 70% of Nave Communications’ annual EBITDA in excess of $2.0 million per year (“Nave Earn-out”). The Company will recognize the expense ratably over the three year period as compensation expense.
	The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of ADDvantage Technologies Group and Nave Communications for the year ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of October 1, 2012. The pro forma earnings for the year ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were adjusted to include intangible amortization expense of $0.8 million. Incremental interest expense of $0.2 million was included in the year ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, as if the $5.0 million term loan used to help fund the acquisition had been entered into on October 1, 2012. The $0.6 million of acquisition-related expenses were excluded from the year ended September 30, 2014 and included in the year ended September 30, 2013 as if the acquisition occurred at October 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the Company’s combined results of operations which would actually have been obtained had the acquisition taken place on October 1, 2012 nor should it be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations.

	On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the majority of the net assets and operations of Adams Global Communications, LLC (“AGC”) to Adams Cable Equipment, a supplier of customer premise equipment (“CPE”) and other products for the cable television industry, for $2 million in cash, which yielded an after tax loss of $0.6 million. As part of the sales agreement, ADDvantage retained their existing relationship with Arris Solutions, as well as non-CPE inventory consisting primarily of headend and access and transport equipment. In addition, ADDvantage retained the AGC facility. As part of the agreement, the Company also agreed to not compete in the used CPE market for three years. The Company elected to pursue this opportunity to sell AGC as management determined that AGC did not fit within the Company’s primary cable television equipment distribution business of selling new and used headend and access and transport equipment, and AGC was not performing to the Company’s expectations.
	The calculation of the pretax loss on the sale of AGC is as follows:
	Cash proceeds	$	2,000,000
	Assets sold:
	Accounts receivable		454,269
	Inventories		2,044,135

	The Company retained the AGC facility following the disposition and actively marketed the facility with a real estate broker. Therefore, the Company had classified this facility as “Assets held for sale” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of accumulated depreciation. On June 30, 2014, the Company sold the AGC facility for $1.5 million with net settlement proceeds of $1.4 million. The sale resulted in a pretax loss of $0.1 million.

	New inventory includes products purchased from the manufacturers plus “surplus-new”, which are unused products purchased from other distributors or multiple system operators.  Refurbished inventory includes factory refurbished, Company refurbished and used products. Generally, the Company does not refurbish its used inventory until there is a sale of that product or to keep a certain quantity on hand.
	The Company regularly reviews the Cable Television segment inventory quantities on hand, and an adjustment to cost is recognized when the loss of usefulness of an item or other factors, such as obsolete and excess inventories, indicate that cost will not be recovered when an item is sold.  The Company recorded charges in the Cable Television segment to allow for obsolete inventory, which increased the cost of sales during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, by approximately $0.6 million, respectively. For the Telco segment, any obsolete and excess telecommunications inventory is processed through its recycling program when it is identified.

	Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforward, totaling approximately $0.8 million at September 30, 2014, to reduce future taxable income is limited to an annual deductible amount of approximately $0.3 million.  The net operating loss carryforward expires in varying amounts in 2019 and 2020.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. The Company has concluded, based on its historical earnings and projected future earnings, that it will be able to realize the full effect of the deferred tax assets and no valuation allowance is needed.
	Based upon a review of its income tax positions, the Company believes that its positions would be sustained upon an examination by the Internal Revenue Service and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for tax years before 2011.

	Notes Payable
	The Company has an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (“Credit and Term Loan Agreement”). At September 30, 2014, the Company has two term loans outstanding under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement. One outstanding term loan has an outstanding balance of $1.3 million at September 30, 2014 and is due on November 20, 2021, with monthly principal payments of $15,334 plus accrued interest. The interest rate is the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.56% at September 30, 2014) and is reset monthly. This term loan is collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles.
	The second outstanding term loan was entered into as a result of the acquisition of Nave Communications for $5.0 million. This term loan has an outstanding balance of $4.7 million at September 30, 2014 and is due March 4, 2019, with monthly principal and interest payments of $68,505, with the balance due at maturity. It is a five year term loan with a seven year amortization payment schedule with a fixed interest rate of 4.07%. This term loan is collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles.
	Capital Lease Obligations
	The Company has two capital lease obligations related to machinery and equipment totaling $64 thousand at September 30, 2014 with monthly principal and interest payments of $2,069. The capital lease obligations are due on June 20, 2017 and September 20, 2017.
	The aggregate minimum maturities of notes payable for each of the next five years are as follows:
	2015	$	845,845
	2016		874,388
	2017		899,234

	2019		2,143,600
	Thereafter		413,899
	Total	$	6,085,911
	Line of Credit
	The Company has a $7.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) under the Credit and Term Loan Agreement with its primary financial lender. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit requires quarterly interest payments based on the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.75% (2.91% at September 30, 2014), and the interest rate is reset monthly. Any future borrowings under the Line of Credit are due on November 28, 2014. Future borrowings under the Line of Credit are limited to the lesser of $7.0 million or the net balance of 80% of qualified accounts receivable plus 50% of qualified inventory. Under these limitations, the Company’s total Line of Credit borrowing base was $7.0 million at September 30, 2014. Among other financial covenants, the Line of Credit agreement provides that the Company must maintain a fixed charge ratio of coverage (EBITDA to total fixed charges) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, determined quarterly. The Line of Credit is collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles.
	Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company signed the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with its primary financial lender dated November 28, 2014. This amendment extended the Line of Credit maturity to November 27, 2015. The Line of Credit remains at $7.0 million, and the interest rate remains at the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.75%.
	Fair Value of Debt
	The carrying value of the Company’s variable-rate term loan approximates its fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate.
	The Company has determined the fair value of its fixed-rate term loan utilizing the Level 2 hierarchy as the fair value can be estimated from broker quotes corroborated by other market data. These broker quotes are based on observable market interest rates at which loans with similar terms and maturities could currently be executed. The Company then estimated the fair value of the fixed-rate term loan using cash flows discounted at the current market interest rate obtained. The fair value of the Company’s second term loan was approximately $4.7 million as of September 30, 2014.

	Plan Information
	The 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”) provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to officers, directors, key employees and consultants.  The Plan provides that upon any issuance of additional shares of common stock by the Company, other than pursuant to the Plan, the number of shares covered by the Plan will increase to an amount equal to 10% of the then outstanding shares of common stock.  Under the Plan, option prices will be set by the Board of Directors and may be greater than, equal to, or less than fair market value on the grant date.
	At September 30, 2014, 1,024,656 shares of common stock were reserved for the exercise of, or lapse of restrictions on, stock awards under the Plan.  Of these reserved shares, 40,415 shares were available for future grants.
	Stock Options
	Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair value over the requisite service period. Compensation expense for stock-based awards is included in the operating, selling, general and administrative expense section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
	Stock options are valued at the date of the award, which does not precede the approval date, and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock options granted to employees generally become exercisable over a three, four or five-year period from the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to the Board of Directors generally become exercisable on the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant.

	The Company granted nonqualified stock options totaling 200,000 shares, 30,000 shares and 250,000 shares for fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions shown in the table below. The Company estimated the expected term of options granted based on the historical grants and exercises of the Company's options. The Company estimated the volatility of its common stock at the date of the grant based on both the historical volatility as well as the implied volatility on its common stock. The Company based the risk-free rate that was used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent expected terms. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company amortizes the resulting fair value of the options ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company used historical data to estimate the pre-vesting options forfeitures and records share-based expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
	The estimated fair value at date of grant for stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the assumptions that were used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 stock option grants are as follows:
			2014				2013			2012
	Estimated fair value of options at grant date			$244,400				$29,040			$267,925
	Black-Scholes model assumptions:

	– Segment Reporting
	During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company changed its organizational structure with the acquisition of Nave Communications. As a result of this acquisition, information that the Company’s management team regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2014, the Company is reporting its financial performance based on its new external reporting segments: Cable Television and Telecommunications. These reportable segments are described below.
	Cable Television (“Cable TV”)
	The Company’s Cable TV segment sells new, surplus and re-manufactured cable television equipment throughout North America, Central America, South America and, to a substantially lesser extent, other international regions that utilize the same technology. In addition, this segment also repairs cable television equipment for various cable companies.
	Telecommunications (“Telco”)
	The Company’s Telecommunications segment consists of Nave Communications. Through Nave Communications’ diverse customer base and its broad range of manufacturer systems and components, Nave Communications’ provides cost effective telecommunications and networking solutions to expand network capacity and infrastructure for its customers. Nave Communications specializes in the sale of used telecommunications networking equipment. In addition, Nave Communications offers its customers decommissioning services for surplus and obsolete equipment, which Nave Communications in turn processes through its recycling services.
	The Company evaluates performance and allocates its resources based on operating income. The accounting policies of its reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
	Segment assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Organization
	and
	basis of presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company’s reportable segments are Cable Television (“Cable TV”) and Telecommunications (“Telco”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents includes demand and time deposits, money market funds and other marketable securities with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts receivable
	Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts.  Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.  Trade receivables are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  The Company generally does not charge interest on past due accounts.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventories
	Inventories consist of new and used electronic components for the Cable Television segment and used telecommunications networking equipment for the Telco segment.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market with market defined principally as net realizable value.  Cost is determined using the weighted-average method.  For the Cable Television segment, the Company records an inventory reserve provision to reflect inventory at its estimated realizable value based on a review of inventory quantities on hand, historical sales volumes and technology changes. These reserves are to provide for items that are potentially slow-moving, excess or obsolete. For the Telco segment, the Company does not maintain an inventory reserve as this segment will recycle any surplus and obsolete equipment on hand through its recycling program when it is identified.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property and equipment
	Property and equipment consists of software, office equipment, warehouse and service equipment and buildings with estimated useful lives generally of 3 years, 5 years, 10 years and 40 years, respectively.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remainder of the lease agreement.  Gains or losses from the ordinary sale or retirement of property and equipment are recorded in other income (expense). Repairs and maintenance costs are generally expensed as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized.  Depreciation expense was $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not amortized and is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company performs this annual analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis.
	The goodwill analysis is a two-step process. Goodwill is first evaluated for impairment by comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a computation of the implied fair value of goodwill would then be compared to its related carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount of the excess. Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, to determine the estimated fair value of its reporting units. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our estimate of future cash flows used to determine the estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in the recognition of different levels of impairment charges in the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, so goodwill was not impaired.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years to 10 years.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income taxes
	The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax carryforward amounts.  Management provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for amounts which are not considered “more likely than not” to be realized.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue for product sales when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable and the collection of the related receivable is probable, which is generally at the time of shipment.  The stated shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point per the Company's sales agreements with its customers.  Accruals are established for expected returns based on historical activity.  Revenue for repair services is recognized when the repair is completed and the product is shipped back to the customer. Revenue for recycle services is recognized when title transfers, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed and determinable and the collection of the related receivable is probable, which is generally upon acceptance of the shipment at the recycler’s location.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Freight
	Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are included in sales income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Actual costs for shipping and handling of these sales are included in cost of sales.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Advertising costs
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was $0.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2014 and $0.2 million for each of the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Management estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Any significant, unanticipated changes in product demand, technological developments or continued economic trends affecting the cable or telecommunications industries could have a significant impact on the value of the Company's inventory and operating results.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Concentrations of credit risk
	The Company holds cash with one major financial institution, which at times exceeds FDIC insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses due to such concentration of credit risk.
	Other financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk.  The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.  The Company performs in-depth credit evaluations for all new customers but does not require collateral to support customer receivables.  The Company had no customer in 2014, 2013 or 2012 that contributed in excess of 10% of the total net sales.  The Company’s sales to foreign (non-U.S. based customers) were approximately $3.6 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In 2014, the Cable TV segment purchased approximately 14% of its inventory either directly from Cisco or indirectly through their primary stocking distributor and approximately 32% of its inventory from Arris Solutions, Inc.  The concentration of suppliers of the Company’s inventory subjects the Company to risk. The Telco segment purchased approximately 13% of its total inventory purchases from Windstream.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Employee stock-based awards
	Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair value over the requisite service period. The Company determines the fair value of the options issued, using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and amortizes the calculated value over the vesting term of the stock options. Compensation expense for stock-based awards is included in the operating, selling, general and administrative expense section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings per share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include any dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
	FASB ASC 820,
	Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
	defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
		?	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
		?	Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured.
		?	Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Recent
	ly Issued Accounting Standards
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08: “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)”. This new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift in operations that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. This guidance will require additional disclosures for discontinued operations as well as new disclosures for individually significant disposal transactions that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This guidance was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
