Lookking for a good Tech.

Looking for a good Tech.

Hello I am looking for a Good Shop / Tech to do some quality work on my radios and for parts. I am in Denton, Texas north of Dallas but also if there is one that I would have to ship to that would be fine also. I would rather have quality and pay for it then convenience. Any thoughts would be great..

David Bupp at DTB Radio.
Richard Byrd at SS8541 Electronics.
Sparky's CB Shack (Doug?).

All three are known to be very thorough, professional, and have the proper test equipment to do the work to spec.

All of the above ans customcbradios.com... Doug is the owner and tech!!

Thank you so much for all the help.. I think this is a good start. I am sure one these places will do just fine.. I am surprised I have looked here on the net and cannot find a shop worth a crap in or around Dallas.. I am sure there is one just a well hidden secret..

there is no doubt there is a shortage of qualified techs. hard to find someone that has the right equipment and even at that the right equipment that properly calibrated and they know how to use properly. also trying to find some one that has a back ground in electronic enginering and not sum cber that might be pretty good at soldering & reading sams books that does swing mods he gets from the web site cb i tricked you.com all the guys mentiond have good reputations as well as William @ Rolling Radios in Richmond VA. he gets radios from all lover the US. & Canada. i have never heard anybody say anything bad at all about his work.

Thank you all for the great info and I have all these outfits locked in. it is nice to know there is some quality shops out there. Just trying to weed through gets a little stupid at times.. Still life is good ..

Actually thats not correct. Sparkys cb shop is still a good choice. Doug however no longer works there. He has started his own shop in Indiana call CBR (custom cb radios). So my list of tech is like this.

1) DTB Radio
2) Custom cb Radio
3) Sparkys cb Shack
4) 8541 Electronics
5) Bobs cb



Rolling Radios is a heck of a good guy and will help anyone. If you have a very complex problem, need a complete alignment, or he just can't fix it he outsources that work. No biggie I guess but thats the deal.

 

[sandpiperx]

That is a GOOD List!
I did a little research on 3 of them and pasted and copied it with the others. I think I have enough to run a little while but the more info the better and I can compare.. I am sure there are plenty of other people that will read this and have very useful info.... It helps to deal and work with quality people and business. I own and run a small outfit here in Texas and stated before I would rather pay a little more upfront and get it right the first time.

I have what is a rci built for galaxy DX 2527. A galaxy 99v. and a cobra 21 with a 300 watt pill box. I test in March for my tech class. Maybe step into a ham radio Maybe not. Working on my crazy Antenna set up first. I kinda of jumped back in wanted to do this years ago ..Life got in the way and now it has moved to the side and having some fun,

Good point there Booty. Bobs cb and Rolling Radios are good with Magnum radio's as another example.

If looking on the east coast, or need mail order support, look no further than R&R communications. I have done business with them for over 20 years, they are first rate and have years of knowledge.

BTW, I have had my "ticket" for 12 years now and you are not missing anything other than some cool DX. Me personally, I have just recently got back into "Charlie Bravo" I miss the informal DX sessions and affordable gear!
Not to mention, HAM just can't give you a live traffic report or smokey 10-20 like CB 19 can.

 

[sandpiperx]

Very good .. I have always want to get the ticket for the sake of just doing it. There are some areas I really want to work once its done, But I still love to work 11 meter for all it worth...


There are some people I would to get a chance to talk to on the amateur side. that I only can scan in now. Its a goal that I am working on..
