RE: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service

[Mike Mullarkey]

Hi Russ,   Why not buy a Kenwood TKR-850 or 750 and that way you pay a few bucks more but you get a true commercial grade and duty repeater. Your money will be better spent buying the commercial grade repeater vs. a ham spec repeater.   Oregon Repeater Linking Group Mike Mullarkey [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.orlg.org     -----Original Message----- From: russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 4:41 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service   It is not true! I have been buying repeaters from Maggiore for many years! I sat on his garden tractor years ago in his garage and watched him build my 220 repeater. They have had good and bad repeaters. But they have come a long way and build one of the finest repeaters on the market today. Say what you will. I have 18 of them on the air they all work just fine. Comparing there old stuff it was crap. But there new stuff is great! There service is wonderful. 73 Russ, W3CH   ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Grantham To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service   You don't have to believe it.  It is true however.   Steve   ----- Original Message ----- From: Neal Newman To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 9:30 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service    Having met with Paul Maggiore , and spending a day with him. I find that very hard to believe. Paul  backs up his product. No matter who bought it for whom,..If it was built by his company  he will back up his product.. Neal Steve Grantham wrote: Caveat Emptor.  If you buy Maggiore, the purchaser is the perpetual owner as far as they are concerned.  It is impossible to get any real service assistance from them unless your name is associated with the serial number. Our club has one that was purchased on behalf of the club, in an individual's name, and we cannot get any satisfaction period.  I cannot even get them to reply to emails.  As a matter of fact, the fellow's email address went bad.   Steve   ----- Original Message ----- From: "skipp025" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 5:18 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service       The last unit I had Maggiore make, was a customebuild. Not only did they do the work fast, it wasall first rate soldering and hardware. Service seems to be pretty good for Hi-Pro stuff. cheers, skippp     Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:If you have a technical staff available to do yourrepairs, a repeater such as the Hi-Pro may besuitable. (Although I would personally recommend one). If you are planning on sending the repeater back tothe manufacturer for any future repairs, Kenwood,Motorola, Icom, or some other similar brand would bemore suitable and easier to get repaired. 73, Joe, k1ike            Yahoo!
