Do you mean Snake Radio Customs?
This guy never even responded (My Service hot line number is 1-800-872-8510 24/7. If I don't answer leave a message please.) to my message.
What do you know about bird meter/dummy load? Got a used one that shows unusually high deadkey on two radios without any swing when speaking into mic. Both radios do work one connex other stryker. Do you have any sugestions
tyrone64,
If the two radios in question are known good working radios, and you know that the readings are way off on the bird meter, there is a chance that your bird elements just need to be re-calibrated.
you have to heat the sticker off the top with a hair dryer or similar. under it you will find a small adjustment screw that will allow you to calibrate the element for a proper reading.
of course you do need an accurate reference to go by in order to set it right.

Mike of Mike's radio repair isn't a brick and mortar store but besides that is a full repair shop/bench.
If you don't mind mailing your equipment to Pennsylvania you're gold.
His workmanship is excellent.
His Price's are fair and turnaround time is second to none IMO (usually 4-6 days from him and back to you).
He can be contacted at mikesradiorepair@gmail.com and one can subscribe to his YouTube channel at mikesradioreair.
Good luck. 73
I live in New Jersey so I have no problem mailing my equipment to neighboring Pa.
Thank you very much for all the info. 73
Las Cruces haunts me still.I believe this guy does..
He's in the Coachlight RV park over by the TA, isn't he?
Great place for itinerants and other passers through.
I haven't had any work done since he was in Ohio so I'm not exactly sure but I know it's the same exit is the TA truck stop
isn't that the place with the humongous steak dinner,....... if you can eat it all, then it's free
I believe this guy does..
Thanks for the info. but I think I'll pass.
Mike recently repaired and aligned a radio for me and his workmanship is excellent and his prices are very reasonable.
I also find his repair videos on YouTube to be both informative and entertaining.
I Highly Recommend Mikes Radio Repair!
Besides knowing what he's doing, it gets done in a timely manner.
I'm always reading or hearing about Cb shops and tecs/golden screwdrivers keeping equipment for months.
When I say months I mean 3 4 5 8!
And then the guy never fixes or.worse you never get your equipment back with little to show for the experience except a smaller bank account.
Here's the way Mike works. Send him your equipment. He recivers it fixes it and sends it back.
4 to six days from your qth to his and back to yours.
Another thing Mike does that others can't or won't is work on tube equipment.
When I say tube I'm not just talking amplifiers.
He has an incredible collection of ef Johnson equipment that would be the envy of any boat anchor enthusiast and he restored every piece.
He's got an incredible collection of AM radio's. You know the type. Zenith RCA ect ect.
If you need work on anything tube to transistor send it to him and don't worry about getting a second rate job or worse ripped off.
I sometimes post about Mike because it wasn't that long ago I was myself trying to find a Tec to refurbish my equipment with little luck.
Even on this forum I was told finding someone to work on tube stuff was not likely.
Mike was and is not only an excellent Tec but will walk one through a repair over the phone.
He really enjoys what he does and never minds helping. Good luck.
