I think this guy has outstanding reviews on eham. Years ago I sent him a Yaesu FT920 that had some burnt circuit traces. His service was outstanding then and from I read is today as well. Haven’t heard anything bad...the other guy to look at is Byron Campbell
The man is honest as can be and shipping prices are fair also. He fixed a Icom 718 for me and his price with shipping was fair. I was expecting to pay more. You cant go wrong with him. That is my opinion.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
