Amateur Ham Radio Repair/Alignment

For many of us, Ham or Amateur radio is a part of our everyday life. It is a convenient method of communication. We count on them! We depend on them. Without them - we feel we are isolated. They provide a means of entertainment. Some are units that are established as a base unit to provide means of contacting others or perhaps even a group. Others are mobile mounted to keep us informed of changes in our daily routine. Yet another type is a portable or HT (Handie-Talkie). These, we carry around, drop, sit on, etc. Ham Radio defects are typically not very severe.

Attention:

Do not send to the Tampa address. The shop is now in Spring Hill, Florida

Currently lag time is about 24 business days.

Drop-off and pick-up is an option, Tuesday thru Friday. 8am to 11am only.

You MUST make an appointment.

Pack it well with factory hard foam or bubble wrap (not newspaper or old sweaters)!

Don't use paper or foam peanuts - it will get into places that will cause problems.

Ham Radio Repairs

Technical Specialists began in 1991 doing much the same as we do now: component level repair of electronics circuits. Ham Radio repair means that we replace the components on the board that are defective rather than replace the entire board. Transistors and ICs cost only a fraction of the cost of a replacement board (typically about 3%). Replacement of Ham radios usually costs from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Repair is a mere fraction of this. Our services are not restricted to transceivers. We repair Tuners, Power Supplies and whatever other accessories you have around the shack!

We service all brands including Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, Ten-Tec, Alinco, Anytone and all others!

Our Procedure

Within 15 days (usually less) of receiving the defective ham radio, we will diagnose the problem and contact you with the cost of repair. In the majority of cases we have already done so as it is often difficult to be certain there are no additional failures. We don't just get them working and send them back because we back up our service with a 2 MONTH GUARANTEE!

Any changes in the status of your radio will be sent by email. Make CERTAIN that lee at hamradiorepairfix dot com can get through your spam blocker.

Our Policies

We will charge a small fee to properly pack and ship it back via USPS (usually 1/2 hour or a full hour if it takes that long to ship it back.

If you want an estimate - estimates are $45.

Our labor rate is $45 per hour. You will not find a better price anywhere. How can we do it? It's because we have plenty of technical data, all the required equipment, one of the most complete parts inventories anywhere and most of all - many years of experience. Most Ham radios are repaired in 3 to 4 hours while some may take longer. Parts installed range from $1 to $22 typically. Complete boards often cost hundreds...
