Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
As a new Ham when my ft857d started to have receive problems I had no idea where to send and have it repaired. I asked a number of Hams and EVERY ONE said to send it to John at LPC WIRELESS. Excellent choice!!! The service,repair time and price was great. I am very pleased to recommend LPC Wireless. I encourage all Hams to give John a call about your radio repair needs. 73 Jim KJ4REV

Another Good Job!!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
126 reviews says it all about John. Thought I had a problem with my radio's antenna tuner. No problem found and no charge. I did not fully understand how the tuner was suppose to work and John did a great job explaining its proper function and use.

Great Technician Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have know John and used his abilities many times. When I lived in Florida he repaired many radios for me including Kenwood ts-940's amd a Icom 775 DSP. I am Living in Connectict now and contacted John about repaing a Yaseu Mark Five. I sold the radio to another ham and before I shipped it it had a problem. I have not used Johns services in a few years and although he was very busy with work he took my radio in for repair. It was fixed and sent to the new owner in a week. John is the best Tech around,honest and reasonable. You will get your radio back better than new. There is no one better. Thank you again John. W2NG

Don't go anywhere else! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
John has repaired four different radios for me from three separate manufacturers. He has consistently done an excellent job at a very reasonable rate. He does the quality type work that the manufacturers should be doing, but don't. I have been unfortunate enough to send my radios to them and got charged an exorbinate amount for a non-existent repair. As long as John is in business I will never send a radio anywhere else for repairs.

Excellent Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have a Yaesu FT-990 with the old microchip in it, ver. 1.2. This version does not operate on CAT very well.

Through the Yahoo FT-990 user group, I discovered from a German ham member that Yaesu in Great Britain has the replacement part, which I ordered. There are none available in the US.

The user group had identified John KI4NR as the one to see about getting the part mounted; I did not want to attempt to solder on a 1 sq. inch part with 80 legs onto the Controller Board. By e-mail, John scheduled me in.

Since both the radio and I are in Florida this winter, I elected to drive it to him. He was ready at the appointed time, and was finished 1.5 hours later, as promised. The cost was modest, and the radio is completely modernized and tested. His shop is well equipped and very professional.

Do not entrust your expensive equipment to anyone else.

Top of the line service!!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
John took a Kenwood TS 950SDX that I had owned for many years and made it new. It works and looks as it did when it came out of the box. John kept me informed every step of the way in the repair process keeping cost to a minimum. Before I sent the 950SDX to LPC Wireless, I had thought about buying a new rig - now I have a "NEW" rig without spending alot! I HIGHLY recommend John and LPC Wireless for timeliness, repair work, and just good customer service. THANK YOU John!!!

The Classic Technician!!! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
John is one of those rare technicians from a generation bygone that I learned from and eventually became in my Navy days.

His troubleshooting is spot-on; his service is unmatched; but his concern for my satisfaction after the FT-990 was shipped back to me makes him unique in the shrinking pool of talented and ethical amateur radio repair businesses.

If you need professional analysis of your problem or the eventual repair, in terms of quality, personal interest and effective repair, there are none better than John in the USA!

Geat Service and Repair Work!! Time Owned: N.A.
John (LPC Wireless) did a great job of repairing my Kenwood 2000. His turn around time was nothing short of miraculous even allowing for the intervening Christmas and New Year Holidays. His repair fee was very very reasonable, and probably should have been twice what he charged. He was readily available when I needed to talk to him either online or via the phone. He promptly returned all calls and emails. Additionally, he returned my radio so well packed that the box seemed like it was "up-armored." I highly recommend John for his high quality repair work, superb service, fair prices, honesty, and integrity. He is definitely a class act!!! Mitch KI4TSI
