Good day folks,
I recently purchased a ham radio at the last St. Louis HAM fest and it appears the radio has some pretty serious problems. Lesson learned, I should have fully tested before passing the cash.
Can anyone recomend a local shop that repairs HAM's?
Background:
Just for reference, it is a Alinco DR-135 T mobile unit. With the mic disconnected, the unit powers up and appears to be functional. When the mic is plugged-in, the unit shuts off almost like the ground / polarity of the mic is wired incorrectly internally. Hoping the mic was just jacked up, I purchased a mic off of Amazon and unfortunately the unit exhibits the same issue. My good deal has suddenly become as expensive as just buying a new unit I suspect.
I am not opposed to sending it for repair, but would like a pretty quick turn-around if possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
