been a member off and on here through out the yrs, owned many a ten tec rig and 
send a few in for repair. 
has anyone sent their radio in for repair lately ? 


i shipped my omni VII down there yesterday and i'm hoping for a positive 
turnout. 
the mic amp board was doing funny stuff, a bunch of loud static and humming 
whenever the mic cable was disturbed. 
any mic, any cable on TX ssb. even when keyed by the KEY. just kept getting 
worse 
i removed the case, 4 screws on the face, moved the face fwd just a bit to take 
the 3 screws that retain the mic amp board to the face and saw nothing...... 
re soldered all 8 mic pins, no luck 

searched the board over with a 10X lens. did this routine 4X's and could not 
find a thing. 
gave in and wrote ten tec, took about 3 weeks for this reply: 

Our service policy is there will be a one hour minimum charge of $140.00 
dollars for each transceiver or equipment sent in for repair. If more than one 
hour is needed to make the repair then additional charges of $125.00 dollars 
per 
hour for each hour needed to make the repair. Any parts used for the repair and 
return shipping are additional charges. Turn-around time on repairs have been 
two to three weeks 
keeping my fingers crossed, should be in TN on thurs.
