I stand corrected. The tuner issue that I had was $257.10 plus $40 for
shipping to WA. So that was $286.10.
The CIV issue to/from Belleview was $195.93, plus $29 for shipping. So that
was $224.93 total. $.57 cents in parts and $168 in labor. Don't know how
to read it, but they "shipped" 8 parts at $21, for a grand total of $168 in
labor. A bit high in comparison to 57 cents in parts. :)
Last person who had a CIV problem here in Lafayette sent his Pro2 to Houston
Amateur I think he fixed it for $95 plus shipping. I did learn that Icom's
return price on Fedex Ground was cheaper then my sending via UPS ground.
I'll use Fedex from now on. :)
