True Professional Technician Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent Mike N1EQ an ICOM 746 PRO for repair. Told me when to send it and received it back in a week..Excellent turn around time and fair and honest repair. Keeps you updated with the repair, can't say more than what has been said already. If only ICOM and Kenwood had a system like Mike has for repair.

I had Mike repair a problem on my Kenwood TS-870S...It took a week from the time I sent it out and received it back..Of course I'm in Mass. and Mike is in Maine so it took 1 day via FedEx to get to him...I received it back and working great and a very reasonable repair bill. Do not hesitate on sending him a rig for repair you will be satisfied..Will I send him another rig if it needs repair, no hesitation at all....I know he is honest and a professional at his work...Thanks Mike.............WZ1U Steve

Can't get better Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Emailed Mike on 9/25/16 asking about sending my 706MKIIG in for repair.. Was sent the next day. Diagnosis was done the next day, and parts were ordered.
Here it is 10/10/16 and my rig is back on my desk operating as it should.
Great communication throughout the process, and the price, in my mind was more than fair. If you're an Icom guy, and need work you need look no further..

the best Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I sent Mike my 756 Pro III on a Tuesday and it came back the following Tuesday. Not only did he fix the screen display issue I had but he found something else and took care of that as well. Great communication - emails bouncing back and forth. I always knew what was going on.

I sent in my Icom 746 Pro thinking that I might have some of the well documented issues with the radio and wanted him to check it out. He looked it over almost immediately and found no issues whatsoever. There's nothing I value more than honesty in a business transaction - and he is impeccable in my estimation.

The reviews don't lie... Time Owned: more than 12 months.
...Mike N1EQ really is as good as they say!

I had the known corroded trace issue on my IC-706MKIIG, and after concluding that it wasn't a project I was willing to tackle on my own, I contacted Mike about sending him the rig. He answered promptly (just not on weekends - read his instructions), had a few suggestions to try before I sent it in, and once he got it in the shop had it fixed and shipped the next day. He also performed a TSB on the rig while he was inside of it at no extra charge. The rig is back in service and operating flawlessly.

His site describes everything you need to know about contacting him, scheduling your service, packing and shipping your rig, and paying him once the service is complete - the entire process couldn't have gone smoother. As someone else said: Mike says what he's going to do, then does what he said.

I am a very happy customer and would not hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone in need of his services.

Great comms, great service! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I had a typical problem with my Icom 706MKIIG. Communicated it to Mike, sent him the rig, and had it back in a very reasonable amount of time. Internet based business, no worries, worked great for me!

Once again Mike can thru for me! I have used him before for my IC-765. And again the communication was constant and informative and was a totally positive experience.

If you need a radio repair, stop reading this and contact Mike N1EQ!

Excellent Service Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have an Icom 756 Pro that had some blown finals. I sent the radio up to Mike and had it back in a week in excellent working condition at a very reasonable price. Mike runs a very professional operation with great communication. He tells you exactly what he is doing and does it very well.

ICOM IC-746 Repair Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
There are several very good reasons why Mike Nadeau, N1EQ has a 5.0 rating here...he is competent; knows Icoms; says what he does then does what he says; he is prompt and most importantly, he is a very good repair technician.

Mike knew the problem from my email description and was able to repair my rig promptly (rig was out of the shack for approximately 11 days with UPS having it in their possession for 9 of them) keeping me informed along the way via email; Mike returned all the replaced parts too. Once the rig was back in the shack and hooked up he answered all of my questions and offered helpful advice.

So if you have an Icom - especially the older models and want prompt, reliable repairs from a very competent repair technician then Mike Nadeau, N1EQ is your man!

Icon 756 Pro 2 Repair Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Bottom line Mike Nadeau is a good man and very competent service technician. His focus is to define the root issues and causes for the primary failure then ascertain the best repair procedure to assure future dependability. What more can we ask for? The man has a "Hands On" depth of service knowledge allowing him a leg up on where to look for primary and as importantly tertiary issues and potential gremlins. regarding costs he is more than fair with his rate and assessing of time in the repair. Last but not least he is a man of his word and when he says he will get to your equipment he does and keeps in communication with you as needed To the end. Thumbs up.
