Scorpion Repair Shop?

Someone mentioned the joker man electronics to me awhile back.
I feel bad for him.
He seems like a nice guy but he is ignorance on fire.
I don't get an impression of malice from him. Just ignorance.

I can't say I know anything about this BBI person.
To me, like @Handy Andy said, the "amp builder" thing has gotten out of control and the most vocal "techs" are taking people for a ride.

I really thought that Scorpion was trying to do the right thing and not get into it with the kiddies so he will be missed.

jokerman electronics ripped me off, and never sent my rotor for my antenna I bought from him, he kept promising me he would sent it but never did. I just gave up on him and went and bought another elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that Joker Man took you for a ride.
Some of his recent videos really give me pause.
The Biasing your CB radio video is a tragedy.... it really is ignorance on fire.

Simple answer is to not use him again.

Yeah, that's his page and it's still there.

I got word that he received an FCC letter.
I don't know if that is true or not but if it is I can't blame him for pulling the plug.
Tinkering with amps and getting a steep fine is not in the best interests of his family if that is the case.
It's true he did receive a letter from the FCC so he closed shop for good
 
What pisses me off Tech Nine received the same letter from the FCC and he closed up shop and got rid of youtuYo channel but The person that goes by TELSTAR Admits he turned in Tech Nine. So I have a feeling TELSTAR turning in allot of these amp builders but TELSTAR builds and sells amps on ebay

That's the guy that makes the amplifiers inside of a plastic electrical box and charges like a grand for it? This Telstar electronics person?

I NEVER LOOKED AT HIS REVIEWS..if I did I would never have done business with this JOKER...JOKERMAN ELECTRONICS ripped me of plus tried to scam also,,,The scam was sending me fake invoices totaling almost $1500 for items I never ordered,but did view...NEXT was I paid on 05/23/2018 I paid him $565 to just replace 10 transistors that all,6 months later I asked him to return amplifier,he flat out REFUSED,Then later he wanted another $250 and if I refused 10 days later he would sell amplifier,but within that 10 day notice he raises the cost to $500 and said he could charge me $1200 for a amp that cost $850,,,,,IS THAT BAD BUSINESS OR A SCAM,ANYWAY DONT WALK AWAY,RUN!!!!!
 
I also had a negative experience with Jason of Jokerman Electronics.

Won't happen again with him.

And you didn't file charges? If there was documentation you had him.
 
I don't understand why anybody would use that tool........ one look at any of his vids and a little common sense and you'd go elsewhere
