IC-4KL REPAIR Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My review is identical to K6GKB. Kuni was very good in communications and too he repaired my 4KL Power Supply. After reading the K6GKB comment below, I guess Kuni might have thought this was 4KL week or at least 4KL power supply week? If you have a radio or amp and want it repaired quickly at a very fair dollar? Kuni is the MAN !!!

Repairs Yaesu FT-736r also Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Kuni not only works on Icom, (he did a excellent job on a Icom 551-D), but repaired two different Yaesu FT-736R tranceivers. Excellent work, fast turn around and very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Outstanding, again. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
recently acquired a used icom 740. took it to Kuni and 2 days later it is ready for pickup. He cleaned, aligned and tested. He is very reasonable for the service he provides. Will send other rigs to him for repair/service. Thanks, Kuni

KUNI DID IT AGAIN!!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I send Kuni my IC2-KL for repair since the protector light was on all the time. Before sending the unit we exchange various email where he send me pictures to do some testing’s. He pin point the problem to a faulty transistors on the power supply. He replaced the transistors, check all the capacitors, tested, aligned, cleaned, and the amp is working like new. I am using it with the Omni VII at 30W to get 500w. His prices are very reasonable, communication is great and a GURU in Icom's. Thanks again KUNI!!!

Absolutely the Very Best! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
After being provided a recommendation to consider Comtek for my repair work, I read the eHam reviews and decided to call Comtek.

I talked directly to Kuni and he provided me what turned out to be an accurate portrayal of probable cause, repair costs and timing. I sent in the 4 radios (Icom 746 Pro & 3 Alincos) and received a call from Kuni the day after the radios arrived at his shop. He confirmed the problems, total cost (very reasonable) and timing. Total time for the repair job was less than 3 weeks including shipping from Michigan to Washington state and back!

And here is the best part, everything works better than new, in addition to the repairs he went thru all four radios and verified/aligned/updated them and I swear he must have also cleaned them up - - they looked like new! Even the way he packed the radios for shipping was meticulous.

As our county's EC/RO and directly involved in the specification, purchase, use and maintenance of many radios, Kuni will be getting my radio repair business. If more people ran a business like Kuni, the world would be a better place - - he truly exceeded my exacting expectations!

Outstanding Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This was my 3rd Icom radio sent to Kuni for repair. Super fast turnaround and very professional work.
This radio sounds better than ever before.
Highly recommended!

Great service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have an Alinco DX-77T that would only transmit (poorly), on a couple of bands. After talking to Ham Distributors, it looked like the problem was some bad diodes on the filter board. Ham Distributors recommended Comtek.

I was reluctant to send this radio out for service, given all of the posted horror stories about Alinco repair.

Comtek was very professional! Kuni called with an estimate that was less expensive than expected and had the radio repaired within 1 (ONE) day. Very, very good service.

I would highly recommend Comtek.

FANTASTIC!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Kuni did a great job for me. I read a number of reviews, and then called Comtek, scheduling a time to ship my ICOM 751. We discussed repairs, cleaning, upgrades, etc, then he called again to confirm these things once he had the radio in hand. He also quoted an approximate cost for these services. A few short days later, he was on the phone again, letting me know that repairs were completed and what the cost would be, including shipping and insurance. It was HALF of what I was expecting. That pleased me greatly and made my wife very happy! My radio wasn't gone for months, either. The whole transaction took less than 2 weeks, and I have now had my radio for about 3 weeks, and it is working like a champ, better than new. I highly recommend Kuni's work, especially with ICOMs. I am extremely pleased with his work. That makes me one happy HAM!!

Icom IC-718 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I had too many radios going at once one day and key down and heard a hissing sound. All radios worked except Icom IC-718 front end over load.

Called Comtek and E-mailed him and he got right back with me. Told me the parts that was bad. I shipped it to him five days out and two days repair and five days back.

Two parts and one hour labor and it was repaired. He did do some other checking of the radio for me.

I rate Comtek a FIVE because of phone and E-mail responce and top knot service
