Highly recommend Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Let me add my call to the long list of others who recommend Kuni and his Comtek Radio Repair service in Poulsbo, WA. I took my PW1 to Kuni and received excellent and extremely friendly service at a very, very fair price. Just a nice guy who really knows what he's doing with Icom equipment. As I live about equidistant from Poulsbo and Bellevue, I could have taken it to Icom but decided to trust Kuni based on recommendations here and from local hams. Glad I did. Highly recommend.

Yaesu ft-817 Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
First let me say this, Its very difficult for me to allow anyone to put their nose pickers in my radios. But, after the loss of most of my bench equipment and the fact I just cant see those tiny SM parts anymore, I needed to find someone who was GOOD and fair priced. I'm on a fixed income and cant just throw money around.
After reading Kuni's reviews, I decided to give him a call...
What a lucky phone call!!! This man knows his craft and is VERY proud of his work. He's a professional in every aspect. I had no problem sending him my radio.

I recently purchased a non nd ft-817 and it had rcv problems on uhf/vhf. I called Kuni and we both guessed it to be agc overload.
I sent it to him and the day he got it he emailed me to let me know it had arrived.
Within a couple of days I got another email telling me of its diagnoses and that parts were not readily available from Yaesu.

As soon as the parts came in, Kuni emailed again to let me know. With repairs made, Kuni let me know the damage...NOT BAD AT ALL!!!
Turn around was about 3 weeks.

I just cant say enough about Kuni. He's a rare find when it comes to working on radios. This man knows what he's doing and he's good at it and, his prices are affordable...even with my fixed income.
If your like me and don't trust just anybody with your equipment, you can trust Kuni. I just cant recommend Comtek enough... Thank you Kuni.

Great Professional Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My 17-yr old Alinco DX-70TH had its first problem and would not transmit. I reviewed their work on eHam and got instructions from their web site to send my radio. I got a call from Kuni the same day it was received telling my the problem and proce, as well as the multi-function knob problem which all DX-70's get---he'd throw that in for free. Ohio to Washington in less thatn 2 weeks UPS (could have been faster if I'd wanted express), works gret back in the car. Very professional and immediate. If yo need Alinco work I highly sugget Kuni and COMTEK.

Very Happy with Kuni Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I can’t recommend COMTEK enough. I had my IC-765 in storage for several years. Kuni took good care of my transceiver and did a very quick job of it. I’m very happy with his work and the price that I was charged. If I ever need work on any of my radios, he will get it.

Great work and fast turnaround! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is my first experience with this repair center. After reading down the reviews I can see why there's a lot of trust here. Some say if it says ICOM it's the place to be. Let me add Alinco to the list. The problem was a strange one on my DR-605TQ. Didn't see it on any forums. No problem-had it back with a description of the issue in about 1-1/2 weeks. Very fair pricing and stays in touch. I'm about to send in a Yaesu FT-5100. I know the rig is in good hands.

Great, fast & reasonable service! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Sent my ic-718 up to Kuni for repairs, had it back in a bit over a week, for a very reasonable price. I am very happy with his service, and quick work. Highly recommended!

ICOM GURU Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I bought my old ICOM R-7100 receiver back and it was not up to snuff as it had been before. Sent Kuni an email and he said no problem. Received it back within a week and a half.The radio is better now than new. My hat is off to Kuni for his expertise and VERY reasonable rates. If I ever need a repair again-no second guessing here-off to COMTEK!!!!Tnx--Terry N4SuB

IC-765 repair. The best! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My venerable IC-765 had been getting sicker and sicker. It was like the tale of the frog put in a pan of cold water, then turning the heat on. I didn't realize how sick it was actually getting. I sent my 765 to Kuni on December 28th and received it back on January 7th. Very quick turn around. Turns out, the major problem was a defective FL-30 filter. Kuni replaced the filter and re-aligned the radio. The radio now plays again like it was new. Kuni maintained excellent communications with me. By the way, his bill for the repair was what I felt was very reasonable. Do I recommend Kuni at Comteck, you betcha I do.

Continued Great service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I just received back a repaired IC-746PRO which had some bad solder joints. Radio was new in 2002.
Kuni did his usual. A good repair and a happy ham.

I took my Icom 751A up to Kuni on Friday for alignment. Kuni indicated that it might be a week to turnaround. He called on Saturday and I drove up from Shelton to Poulsbo and picked it up! One day turnaround and he replaced a couple of transformers as well.
He is well equipped for Icom repairs.
Very satisfied!

The Best! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My beloved IC-735 had a smoke inducing experience tuning up into a bad 4:1 balun. Based on these reviews, I sent it to Kuni. My radio arrived at his shop Monday, Tuesday morning he called to tell me it was repaired (band pass coil & final), Wednesday he shipped it, and today (Thursday) it arrived home. Back on the shelf and working perfectly. The cost was very reasonable. Do I recommend Kuni? Absolutely.
