Sorry, Scott, but this is one of those cases where not knowing history dooms
one to repeat it. The subject company has been doing business this way for
at least 6-7 years, so I think we can assume that it will continue ad
infinitem and patience on the part of the victims won't make things any
better. Over the years, no reasons have ever been given for the strange
operation of the "business". At one point, they offered some interesting
and unique products associated with the tuning rate of Kenwood transceivers
(940 and others). I have no idea whether they are a competent repair
station or not, but I'd certainly NEVER send anything to them given their
long history of outrageously poor customer service.
