Programming and conversion of Motorola and Philips radios to the Amateur Radio service.
Many other brands as well
Our specialty is the conversion of commercial radios to amateur service. The big commercial shops are not always willing to do this. Even if they are, they'll often charge far more than we would. One of the biggest reasons for this is that, with many commercial radios, converting them to amateur frequencies pushes them outside their factory-specifed band limits.
In some cases, hardware modifications or extensive retuning are required to accomplish the task, which is something else the big shops aren't always keen on doing. Why risk high prices and weird looks in regards to your desired frequency list when you can come to us?
We can also order parts or accessories for your existing equipment. Please email with your requirements.
Both our RF communications analyzers, and our other timebase-referenced test equipment, are tied in to a precision reference oscillator.
We can sweep-tune Syntor X and X9000 RF decks to cover amateur bands, and still allow the radio to retain much of its commercial frequency coverage.
Our base labor rate is $110.00/hour with a half-hour ($55.00) minimum (GST included). ALL radios we receive for programming or other service get a full inspection for damage, and a full diagnostic performance check.
Basic operational checkout is available at a special flat rate of $50.00 per radio. This does NOT include any alignment or fine-tuning; just basic diagnoses of the unit's condition.
PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT service any sort of consumer electronics.
