Re: [BVARC] local radio shop recommendations
2nd Sending it to Yaesu. I had a 450at repaired for $80 back in 2014. I think its in California? It was a component replacement (80m didnt work), not exactly simple. $80 seemed fair! Not sure about shipping though! KF5ONT On Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 09:04:12 AM CDT, Philip Bartash via BVARC wrote: Check with Alexander Suvorov, he does repairs.

No place locally to repair equipment. As for installs River Oaks is the only one that I know of that is familiar with ham equipment.

Re: [BVARC] local radio shop recommendations
Depends on what you needthere are two way shops that do installs but they usually handle Motorola, etc professional lines .. Texas Bigfoot, owned by W5JSC on the NW side, BEARCOM with shops in Deer Park and I think N Houston proper, and some others...they bill pro rates so it may not be your choice...a new company, AirComm has a ham as their lead tech..met him at the hamfest ..not sure what the cost would be there...locally owned shops used to do CB and ham installs as side business but with corporations buying up independent shops that's gone these daysEddie and his crew do great jobs at River Oaks Audiohis rate is likely less than the LMR shops but may be worth a phone call to check ...Holland Radio is on the south side of town..but haven't dealt with them in decades..Chris WB5ITT Sent via my Samsung Galaxy S10e, an AT 5G Evolution capable smartphone..so there!
