Nice Work, Fair Price, Good Comms Time Owned: N.A.
Byron does repairs as they should be done. He is responsive to emails and easy to work with. Contact him and reserve a time slot, then he'll send you a reminder when it's time to ship your rig to him. I experienced one week turn-around through his shop with my 1000MP (DSP and display problems). The rig came back playing like new. I'm sending him another MP early next year.

Fabulous! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
One word describes my experience with Byron; "Professional". Wow is how to describe my renewed FT-1000MP. Looks like new, just put it through it's paces and works better than I recall, I am the original owner of this radio, best thing I did was send it to Byron.
I just saved many kilo bucks not having to buy an FT-5K!
Thanks Byron!

FT2K-D Modifications & Updates ... FANTASTIC! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've communicated with Byron since early last summer (2013) about some modifications to my Yaesu FT2K-D and finally shipped my rig to him early this month (January - 2014).

Byron put in AC0C's NS Roofing Filter and made several other update modifications, tested and aligned the rig fully.

Byron did fantastic work and has been a pleasure to work with. He does excellent work and I'm very pleased with how my rig works since he completed the updates/modifications.

Send Byron an e-mail for you needs and you won't be disappointed.

He does great work and I can't say enough good things about his services.

Outstanding Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased my FT-990 from a good friend that decided to no longer operate. What a radio I ended up with. In August 2007 it had been sent to Byron to have the 500 Hz CW filter replaced, checked over and a complete alignment done. I have been a ham for over 52 years and am a Communications EE. Needless to say I have owned or used about everything available, and when I got this radio I was blown away. Everything about it was dead on. Frequency accuracy, all metering and best of all this radio hears like nothing I've ever used. Byron has "tweaked" this 990 to the max. I can copy signals that on other radios would be not workable. I have since added a 250 Hz CW and 2.0 kHz SSB filter and added the audio hiss modification to my pride and joy to further enhance the performance.

Byron definately has the know how and equipment to make these high-end Yaesu Radios really perform. When you specialize in one Brand and a limited range of their products, you can rest assured that nothing gets missed while your radio is in very capable hands.

If you own one of the Yaesu radios Byron services, look no further as you won't find anyone else that will do the job as well or as reasonable. We are lucky to have individuals that have taken the time to specialize on a small area of our hobby and are the best in the business. For most gear there is someone out there to do the very best repair, modification and alignment. Please patronize the recognized experts, you won't be sorry.

Cheers...David, AJ4FM

Terrific Service - Fair Price Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Learn from your fellow hams! Don’t send your FT-1000 series radio anywhere else. Byron simply did fantastic work on my 1000MP. I couldn’t be happier. After the repair, Byron performed all of the suggested Yaesu field modifications and he installed the INRAD roofing filter in the 1st IF. Byron presented me with a very detailed invoice and returned the bad components along with the radio. The price was very reasonable and the turn around was prompt.

Great Job! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Recently had Byron go thru my 6-year old Mark V Field. Byron found some issues with it, corrected them, and gave the radio a good "going thru". Also installed some better filters. Excellent communication from him. Reasonable pricing. Quality work. Will definitely use him again if the need arises!

Very Happy with the Excellent Service on my FT1000MP Mark V Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After receiving a number of reports that people were calling me and not being able to hear them, I decided that it was time to have my FT1000MP Mark V evaluated by a professional. I purchased the radio new 2004, and never had it serviced. After reading the reviews here, I sent the radio to Byron and asked him to check everything out, and apply all of his standard mods. It turns out that there were a number of problems, and Byron replaced whatever parts were necessary (and returned the defective parts). Byron also made some suggestions on menu settings, and returned the radio in better than new condition. I'm very happy that I sent the radio to Byron, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. His charge for time and material was substantially less than I was expecting to pay. A very positive experience! TNX, Byron.

Great Service on my FT1000MP Mk V Field ! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Just wanted to add my thanks to Byron and let everyone know what a great job he did on my dead
FT1K Mk V Field ! A nearby lightning strike did it in. Byron's expertise brought it back to life, and with the checkout and alignment he did,
it actually hears better than I can ever remember! His email communication is great and the turn around is very quick (about 2 weeks for me). You have to contact Byron and let him put you on his monthly schedule. Once that's done, just ship the radio to him using his shipping guidelines and he takes care of the rest.
I'm glad the rig is back in line now and operating better than ever. Byron gets an A+++ from me !
