Great JRC repairman!
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
I had a JRC-135 HP transceiver that was distorting
quite badly on transmit.Currently JRC is out of the amateur equipment business.Even when JRC was active in the amateur radio business there were very few places that sold their transceivers.If all this wasn't enough,my JRC 135HP is about twenty years old.
The only place that would even look at my JRC was Universal Radio, the place where I bought it originally.They were unable to fix it, but spent quite a bit of time on it. Universal was really nice to me and didn't charge me any thing. At this point I thought that my JRC was toast. Then
I found out about Hal and talked with him on the phone.He had no problem with JRC stuff and I sent my radio to him. Hal troubleshoots down to the component level and he found a bad cap in the PA section of and the radio and replaced it. Hal is great to deal with and he called me several times
on the phone to update me on his progress. He even called me after I got the radio back to see if it arrived safely and to make sure it was still working OK. I can't recommend Hal highly enough.He really knows what he is doing and his charges are quite reasonable. So if you have a JRC or any other radio for that matter,give Hal a call. I think you will be very pleased with his service

I have to say weither it was my Hammarlund HQ170A VHF or Something just out of a box from a Dealer!I have NEVER been disapointed by Hal's abilities to do the impossible!
I gave Hal a a old reciever HQ-170A which was a Tech's electrical nightmare and it NOW has beautiful audio and phenoninal sentitivity!
There is other gear in the future, I will be sending because he has proved his WORTH!

TOP SERVICE
|
Time owned: months

Dear All,
I would like to share my appreciation for a good job working with me recently when my "baby" KWM-2 developed transmit problems. I was lucky to locate others but Hal was the first to respond to my email request for help to fix it.
Thanks Hal for a good job if you see this message. I have copied and pasted information from Hal's web-site
http://www.landaircom.com/ in case you ever need service work on Collins equipment.

Good Service and work
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I recently sent my KWM-2 to Hal along with the PM-2 power supply for tune up and repair any issues. I found Hal friendly and easy to work with. The turn around time on the radio was excellent - and packing was great for the radio. The radio operates much better than before and is now in good alignment so the work done on it was top shelf.
Now during this time I decided to buy the 516F Power Supply from Land Air. He suggested it was a more robust PS and I'd be better served with it - which it seems to be. My only small complaint was I had to replace a tube socket that was cracked - either during transit or during packing. However Hal was very quick to provide me with any parts needed to return the supply to operational condition. We did this again when a cap shorted - mostly due to my negligence with the bias on the supply improperly set. Again Hal provided me with the replacement part free of charge and some instructions and advice on how to use the supply.
While we had some glitches due to operator error and old parts - you have to expect that with devices 35 years or more old. So far the supply seems to respond well as the does the radio. I also feel that should problems arise in the future Hal will be there to help me trouble shoot and fix the problem. And so I give him good marks and its been a good experience for me.

I am very pleased with the repair Hal did on my transceiver. Repair fast and shipped triple boxed. The price was very fair. I had the opportunity to drop off the transceiver while in town at a funeral.I saw Hal's excellent repair facility and have talked to many people about the great work he does. I am happy i had the chance to meet him in person. Hal is a credit to amateur radio.

Technical Report

Time owned: 6 to 12 months

I have collected numerous hf transceivers for over fifteen years and the most fulfilling part is when the radio leave the bench and able to make contact around the globe.I am not a license technician but i gave many thanks to my highschool budy Joe who encourage me to take a night course in electronic and communication,i didn't realise it would become a great pastime later in life. I have encounted many technician in this hoby,some that are more desirable than others.I have alltypes of transistor radios, from General electric to Alinco and everything inbetween but i must say there are three pieces of equipment i was not able to diagnose properly dispite with chematic on hand, and they are the Collins kwm2 & kwm380 and a National hro60 and last but not least a Hamurlund hq180. the fustration was overwhelming until a friend had recommended Land Air Ccmmunication, after months of trying and the equipments are going different places, finally i said fine. I call a friday morning, i spoke to a gentleman named Hal and explain my situation and he told me that he wanted to see the radios,well i took the radios the same day. When i arrive he ask me how soon do i need the equipment and i told him it was not urgent, he also mentioned about a show room but digress because i was running late. I didnot hear from him about a week, so i call him and he told me that he had diagnose the problem and needed more time because he was busy. Hal call me a week later to pick up the radio so when i got there i didn't know what to expect, he allow me a tour of the showroom and i was amaise because he had the same radio expose in the showroom that i have. I took the radios home and put them on the bench to check for specifications, and all specifications checks a hundred percent. I call Hal to congradulat him for a job well done that he is a true pioneer, it's been over two years and these equipment are still going strong. I recently purchase a Johnson Desk Kilowatt, when i receive the equipment it was not working in high power so i call Hal he came over and find some loos connectors due to shipping. If any doubts feel free to ask me Lionel KC2UEY 73.

I can't give Hal enough praise for the work he did for me a short while ago. I bought a Yaesu FT-736R from E-Bay, with the knowledge it had some problems. I contacted Yaesu for some help in repairing this rig, but they recommended Land Air to do the repair. Hal gave me some GREAT advice over the phone, so with this, I sent the rig to him to look over. I couldn't believe it. He called me after he received the unit, he discussed what he thought was wrong, and the estimated cost of repair. After I said "FIX IT", he called me later that same day telling me that it was repaired and ready to ship back to me. What service. Thanks Hal for every thing. The 736R works great and I am very happy with all the advice you gave me. I recommend Land Air to any one with radio problems to get it fixed right. Thanks again Bruce KD8KDL
