Great Service Great Turnound Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I had a Yaesu FT-1000mp and a Kenwood TS-930 S to restore. Each radio was repaired with great care and restored to a new radio. It took less than a week for turnaround. Diagnostics for every system on each radio was done. The radios work like they’re brand new. If you have a radio issue see them !!

Absolute Excellence! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Have a 30 + year old Kenwood TS-440S that needed going through - Key bounce and transmit failure, power switch not working 100% of the time.
Cal took great care in bringing my rig back up - even replaced the incandescent light bulb in the S meter with new led lights! Been running now for over 2 yrs now and performs like a new radio! I was very happy to have it back.
Very reasonable on repair rates and supper fast getting the job done! Thank-you, Cal!

Good work at a fair price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent in an Ameritron AL-811H after I ran it too hard operating in a digital contest. Got it back as good as new exactly when promised. Would use again and recommend.

Yaesu 736R off frequency Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Called Amateur Radio Repair about realignment of my favorite Yaesu rig. Was 2 KC off frequency on VHF as well as some minor concerns. Had trouble finding anybody who would even consider looking at it since it was purchased from R&L new in 1990, several shops said no vintage radio repair. I was contemplating asking my Japanese XYL to phone Akihabara Japan for repair (A Dayton Hamvention 24/7, they can repair rigs while you wait). Then I called Cal and he says no problem send it to me. Thought it might take a month or longer so I re-installed a mobile Yaesu rig to supplement. No sooner did I get the mobile rig mounted I received an E-mail from cal saying it was repaired and ready to ship and at a 1/3 of the price I expected. Thank you Cal for the quick turnaround and at a less than expected cost. 73's AA9VZ

FT 847 Power Switch Repair Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Cal performed an awesome job and was very responsive via email. He told me that it would take 2-3 weeks time to fix my power switch and he performed the FT 847 switch repair and modification within 2 weeks time. He also went through my rig, changed the internal battery, lubed everything, and also replaced a diode on RF sensitivity. I would highly recommend his great service. The repairs made a big difference and receiver improvements were a great improvement too.

Not Recommended Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
As shipping costs are going thru the roof and Ham Repair is only 85 miles away thought I would send my FT-5200 down for a minor repair. Cost me just over $9 to send it via USPS. Problem was the radio would not key the repeater, otherwise working fine. Nothing heard for 4 wks. so I inquired as to status. Was told I had been invoiced after about 2 wks. but I did not receive anything so I asked for a resend. Got a bill for $74 that included $27 for shipping. Called and was told that was his standard but if I wanted to arrange another method he would refund the $27 (3 days after I paid the bill he still had not shipped the radio back) and I could handle it. Told Cal to just send the rig back. When I received it the radio keyed the repeater once, then never again no matter how it was reset. I just wrote off the $74 bill and will try to figure out what is wrong with the radio myself. Suggest you use this service at your own risk.
