Great Job Bill Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My Acom 1200s had a cooked switching power supply due to a 240vac Surge. I didn't want to ship it due to fear of shipping damage. Bill has a stellar reputation in the amateur radio community, and when I learned that he was less than 100mi away I contacted him and delivered my Amp. In about 1 week Bill contacted me, and advised that the Amp was repaired with an attached video. His expertise saved my $4000 Amplifier and charges were more than reasonable. I also got to meet Bill's XYL, and they are VERY pleasant People to deal with. N4ATS is highly recommended.EDIT 03/18/2023 I visited Bill again for a Problem with my Kenwood TS890s. No output on 80M. It took me 2 hours to drive home, and within 1 hour of arriving there Bill sent me a Text saying that he had diagnosed and repaired the 890.Rig works FB. This is the guy you want to repair your gear period.

RF Concepts 2m Amp Fixed Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have an RF Concepts 2 meter amplifier Model 2-315 that I got in trade for a reel of LMR-600 coax. I had tried using it on 2m SSB but it chattered with every voice syllable. I sent it to Bill, N4ATS, on March 15, he received it on March 17 and worked on it by March 20. He found several issues including poor soldering - fixed those, then he found that the delay circuit was not functioning as designed - fix it. Throughout the process he 'texted' me a video of it operating and photos of the issues. He communicated with me all of the time letting me know what was going on. All this for a 1-hour fee, quite reasonable! It is already on the way back to me. I thoroughly recommend him for your gear repair.

GREAT service!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was waiting for quite a while for the SPE Expert factory service to accept my amp for repair. While I was waiting, someone mentioned Bill as an alternative.

WOW, Bill took it right away, and knocked it out in a week! FANTASTIC communication! EXCELLENT turnaround! I truly could not be happier! I almost hate to leave a review, as more people will go to him and he may be busy next time I need him :-D. You will not be disappointing!

5 star for a reason Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have a TE 1452G 2M amp laying around that I wanted as a small amp back up. I contacted Bill, asked if he fixes TE amps. I had the amp out on a Monday from Long Island to Florida, and by Friday Bill says amp is fixed. How is that for service. Very fair cost to fix, Bill knows his stuff is an excellent tech. He has a 5 star rating for a reason. Thank you Bill, I have other stuff sometime in the Spring so I will keep you busy. David

Excellent Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent Bill an older amplifier for repair. Had it repaired in no time and shipped back later the same afternoon. Outstanding service and communication, just like it used to be.

Outstanding repair of ACOM 600S amplifier! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
One of our club members donated his ACOM 600S to the club station and we enjoyed using it during the past few months. We don't know its age. In January the amplifier gave a fault message, on power-up, indicating a problem in its 5 VDC power supply section and would shut down right away.
We contacted Bill and learned of his long record of repairing this and many other brands of ham radio gear. We shipped the amp to him and received a very reasonable quote for the repair, which was completed promptly. Bill returned the amp to us promptly. We are very pleased with his service!

Excellent Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I sent my Yaesu FL7000 amplifier to Bill cause it's not getting full power and might need an alignment and other repairs. He completely checked and worked on the amplifier and service was quick and it came back like new in performance and works perfectly now. Labor cost was very fair and he shipped back the amplifier to me before I can even pay him. He even shipped it back with an original Yaesu box and not to mention that he saved me a lot on shipping. Excellent person to deal with.

Outstanding! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Sent Bill my TS-870 for the ERR-FE issue as well as a general check over. Got back a like new radio that functions perfectly. Timely updates, great customer service, outstanding knowledge and more than fair charges. He deserves all of the "5" ratings, even higher.
