I've had the 220 MHz Maggiore for over 10 years and have
yet to have the first problem with it. It's like the
"Energizer

"cardiac

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

Comparing there old stuff it was crap. But there new stuff is great!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
Joe You are Correct.. I had asked Paul how and why he got into this Business.. and He told me that it was his fathers business... after His Father passed. he went through a difficult time in his life as with any guy loosing his father. He decided to carry on his Fathers reputation of providing a quality product.. So It may be possible that this guy had a hard time getting service during this time period. Personally speaking. as a user of some maggiore gear I never had a problem with their service. I had an Issue a few weeks back. I made a call and within a few hours. it was resolved. Excellent company and products. Neal Joe wrote: I did not have this bad experience several years ago. I sent an old UHF transmitter back to them because it was not functioning properly at 440.8Mhz. They modified the circuitry for a very reasonable charge. They also did an audio upgrade for free. I do rememeber something about the original owner passing away and changes made in ownership. Maybe they had a difficult time for awhile. 73, Joe, K1ike --- Steve Grantham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Caveat Emptor.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
Too much read between the lines... I did not
say they were technically incompetent. I did not say that their stuff was
crap. I said, "It is impossible to get any real
service assistance from them unless your name is associated with the serial
number." I also stated that they were not replying to my emails, and that
they are not receiving them now because they started to bounce. I no
longer have a good email address for them. Not being able to
communicate with them, I cannot benefit from their $ervice. Maybe I should
have simply said that I had a bad customer service experience, and
that it is still unresolved. If the Hi-Pro repeater ever craters, the new
one will be a MASTR II.
I could write
more.. however.. Nuff said..

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
I did not have this bad experience several years ago. I sent an old UHF transmitter back to them because it was not functioning properly at 440.8Mhz. They modified the circuitry for a very reasonable charge. They also did an audio upgrade for free. I do rememeber something about the original owner passing away and changes made in ownership. Maybe they had a difficult time for awhile. 73, Joe, K1ike --- Steve Grantham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Caveat Emptor.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
As a few people stated, there are good 2-way shops that are willing and very capable of servicing a Maggiore, but I would not count on this across the entire USA.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
I have a UHF Maggiore that has played well for years on a very high site, but I think that I have been lucky in regards to it's performance. I don't see much interstage shielding and wonder what would happen if I was at an "RF crowded" site. There's not much happening, RF wise, at the site that I am presently on so it has performed well for me. My main concern mentioned in my last email was maintenance issues. I do my own repairs, so that is not an issue for me. If I had a failure and did not do repairs, I would be limited to only one repair location (Maggiore factory). Most 2-way shops would probably not want to work on the Maggiore, or would want to charge time & parts. This can get very expensive and time consuming, causing the repair price to go up and downtime to be very long. Sticking to Kenwood, Yaesu, Motorola, or another common 2-way product would give you more choices for repair and faster turn-around time. 73, Joe, K1ike --- skipp025 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The last unit I had Maggiore make, was a custome > build.
