JULY 2008
We are continuing our efforts at updating the existing base of Expert
1K-FA amplifiers sold in the U.S. and Canada in 2007. Because of this
added workload, we are unable to accept new repairs of Amateur Radio
equipment until after July 31, 2008. Expert 1K-FA sales, service and
warranty repairs will continue to be available. We apologize for any
inconvenience.

BIG
NEWS! We now represent linear amplifier manufacture
Societa per l'Elettronica S.r.l. (SPE)
and their excellent Expert 1K-FA no-tune, solid state amplifier. The
Expert 1K-FA is an excellent product with very good reviews
all around in the ham community. We are excited to have been chosen
for this great honor, and expect to give existing and new SPE
amplifier owners an exemplary sales and service experience.
We will be revising
our "full Monte" deal for the TS-850S to include
replacement of ALL of the electrolytic SMD caps on the CAR unit
(there are a total of 11 to be concerned with). Leakage from these
caps have been a known issue with the 850s and we are going to
REQUIRE the replacement of these if they have not already been done
(just advise us if they have when you send in your rig).

(STICKY) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pay attention to the shipping hints that we
present on our SHIPPING page. We are seeing damage to the front panel
controls on some rigs shipped in for repairs; THESE PARTS ARE NO
LONGER AVAILABLE! If we can't scrounge them from the Internet or from
a "parts" radio, they cannot be repaired and that pretty
much is it for that radio. Rigs must have a MINIMUM of 3" of
tightly-wrapped LARGE bubble wrap over the front panel, or 2"
plus 3-5" of loose fill between the rig and the sides of the
box. Even contact with the original hard foam inserts can destroy
these controls! See our shipping page here.

Shipping
hints: please review here before sending
your radio to us.
OUR
FLAT
RATE "FULL MONTE" REPAIR DEALS ARE VERY POPULAR, IT SEEMS! THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR SOME RIGS! CHECK IT OUTHERE.
General Information
PARTS:
While most manufactures are
pretty good about parts, some manufacturers, and a few parts in
particular can be quite slow to deliver. While we
try to stock the most commonly-used parts, it's not possible to keep a
warehouse of everything here. Often we have to "second source" things
to keep the older rigs running. Bear with us.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Good communications is the
key to good customer relations and satisfaction! Please click COMMUNICATIONS
for helpful hints.

LABOR RATES, SHIPPING COSTS: These
have increased for us as they have for everyone. We try to keep our
labor and shipping in line but must cover our costs. We use the least
expensive shipping method (usually Fedex ground) unless otherwise
requested by our customers. Click SHIPPING
for details and shipping hints that will help your rig arrive intact.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES:We
accept personal checks (must clear prior to return shipment), money
orders and bank cheques. We also can take all major bank and debit
cards through PAYPAL; you do not have to be a member to use Paypal
for our services. Please see RATES & PAYMENT.
PARTNERSHIPS: We recommend Ham Radio
Outlet for new equipment purchases. Our local store in Denver
has provided great service over the years and John, Jay,
Russ and Mike have
been awesome! Contact these guys (or your closest store) for your Ham
Radio Equipment needs. Tell them that Bill K0ZL sent you. Their
