Don't know if this is the right sub-forum or not. If not Robb, please move it. I'm gonna talk here, about myself and another. I'm coming back into the hobby after a hiatus of fifteen years. In those fifteen years I calculate I've lost about fifty percent of what I knew. The more I work with radios again the more is coming back. However, at this point, it's woefully inadequate!
Everybody knows I've been battling with a Grant XL that was butchered(This is describing it optimistically). Well, frustrated, I packed it up and sent it to Exit Thirteen. Who, from this point forward, will be known as, 'The Wizard of WorldwideDX!! ET had this basketcase one day and corrected everything. I'm now being sent, a working GrantXL! Now, I understand that a lot of people can repair a radio but, this was...well, I don't think the 'Truckstop-Tech' that worked on it could've damaged it any worse. One Day??? Frequency-generating system was screwed to the point of zero output,AM or SSB. Parts were removed or modified to the point where you scratched your head wondering what they were trying to do! One Day! One Day and he's sending me a message in chat saying it's done. If you knew this radio like I did you would be calling ET a wizard yourself. Also, a fair price for all that work!
I've been around a lot of good, knowledgeable Techs in my days but, ET makes them all look like regular CBers. He is obviously, the best of the best! Thank you sir.
