Tempo One Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Carol & the crew took my Tempo One from it's death bed back to doing a fast dance with a beautiful lady!
I check in on the Boatanchor's Unlimited net when I can & one of the net control's commented that my Tempo One was a pleasure to listen to.
That is a pretty good report!
Thanks Again Carol & Co. for a "Job Well Done"

Carol and crew once again went above and beyond the call to correct the self inflected issues with my FT-101E!
Fast turn around and good pricing!
I would not hesitate to trust any rig to them.
As a matter of fact my Tempo One will be traveling to Georgia next week to get some TLC.

Thanks Carol

Carol & the team took my FT 101 E back to what I consider Factory Fresh.I had 2 local tech's look at it plus 1 fellow in Dallas (who did not even take it out of the box)give up on the repair.
Carol did not stop until it was up to snuff.
I recommend this outfit with confidence.

Carol rocks! Carol not only repaired my Yaesu vintage gear including transverters but made sure I knew how to hook everything together and use it properly. Lots of helpful hints and ideas along with onging, helpful updates and suggestions. Never pushy, always friendly and helpful. All repairs were completed in a short period of time.

A first rate experience!

Great service on Yaesu FRG-7 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My Yaesu FRG-7 receiver which I have had for 30 years needed some work so I took it to Carol . Not only did Carol did the work that I needed but Carol also found some issues that I was not aware of and now the radio is better than ever. The service was fast and the price was great for all that was done. Great job Certified !!

FT-301 Repair Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I was hood-winked into buying an old FT-301 that didn't work. After following a recommendation I read on QRZ, I contacted Carol at http://www.certifiedelectronics.org. He provided shipping instructions that were much better than I would have done. Their repairs were fast and very reasonable. I was afraid the old radio would never talk again, but Carol worked some miracles and the old beast is on the air again and sounding good. Carol kept me informed of his progress from the beginning and included me in the decisions about the repairs. He then offered his phone number and the option to call him if I couldn't figure out to set it up. It just doesn't get any better than that. I couldn't be happier with the work this company done. I recommend them very highly.

Great Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have owned an FT-757GX for over 20 years. It has not been in use for ~20 years and I wanted to set it up, but found it had a few problems. I found Certified on the internet so I called and discussed my problems with Carol, W4CLM. I shipped the rig & tuner to him and he went through it, called me to discuss it, and fixed the problems for what I feel was a very reasonable price. My experience with Certified has been very good - Carol is an HONEST man.

ft101b repair Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
sent in FT101B for repair. Carol rec'd radio on a monday, and on Thursday it was on its way back to me! Unreal quick service.Phone call to discuss issues and remedies. No surprises, Prices and repairs done just as we discussed.
Can't ask for better service. Radio had poor receive sensitivity and needed a good cleaning and alignment. Radio came back working like new!

I would not hesitate to use this company for radio repair in the future. This type of service is a rare thing today. We need to support those who do things right!

Certified Electronics can work magic with radios! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
If you look back in the reviews of Certified Electronics and of course Carol, you will see a review I wrote about the excellent work at a very reasonable price on my FT-757GX. I’m the original owner and it now resides proudly serving the Yonkers, NY Police Athletic League Ham Radio Classroom.
Well I sold my FT-101E to buy the 757 many years ago. I have missed that radio! At the end of a Spring 2011 Hamfest I saw a man loading some things on a cart & one was a 101E! Throwing caution to the wind I bought it and brought it back to the PAL. It worked GREAT! Once & only Once! (I could just hear the “I told you so’” in my head) Even though Carol was busy and not taking in work our 101 was seen by “The Doctor of Yaesu-ology”. One thing about Carol, our PAL club would be only a VHF/UHF club without that magic. Before I could read my emails it was torn down and built back up again in my hands. Man is it a SWEET RIDE! All the kids have to do is send out the club call N2PAL and there is a pile-up.
Carol works magic with whatever comes into the shop. The prices are always reasonable and help is just an email or phone call away. There is no better tech at ANY price! ... and believe me, I’ve tried the bitter taste of bad techs!

Carol...Thanks for being YOU! Ham Radio is a much nicer place that you’re here!

A letter to Carol Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Hello Carol!

I have to tell you that I am very impressed. In this modern era of shoddy
workmanship, poor customer service and general apathy from so many business
people, YOU are a true master of your profession!

Not only did you do the repairs we discussed and included all components as
part of our deal the first time, but your attention to detail is
unparalleled. My FT-101E doesn't even look like the same radio! It came to
me looking almost new. And the little things that noone else would even
bother with made a huge impression on me. Replacing case screws with the
correct item, and I'm quite sure you even replaced the bandswitch knob with
a correct one.

Please do consider me a reference anytime. I will go out of my way to brag about how great you and
your crew treated me.

If I'm ever in your part of Georgia, I would be honored to buy you coffee or
a beer and listen to anything you would care to tell me about how you got to
be so good at what you do.

Your very satisfied customer,

Great Service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Sent in my Yaesu FT-1000 for some work on the Main Receiver. Carol turned the Radio around very promptly. Work was great. Price was reasonable. Quite Satisfied with the results.

Very good service with a fast response Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I called Certified Electronics and Carol answered the call. At first she told me that she was very busy and did not have time to look at my Yaesu FT 980 but I convinced her that I could wait if she would at least take a look at it. I drove to her shop from Mississippi on Thursday and delivered the FT 980 and expected a long wait but on Saturday I got a call that she had finished my radio and Tuesday I pick-up my radio. I've now had time to check that old fine piece of equipment out and I thank Carol W4CLM for taking the time to fix it. For fast efficient and reasonably price repairs call Certified Electronics Thanks and 73's Dwayne KE5UTI
