stryker repair

They must have changed. I stryker had me send my radio there and he has had it for 4 weeks. Got every excuse from I got 2 radios ahead of you to I'm busy trying to get my cousin out of jail.
I've tried to call stryker at least 15 times in the last 4 weeks and no one will ever answer. And only twice via email.
I had two Stryker radios in for elective warranty repair recently and it took about 8 weeks or so for them to be sent back. Since I had another radio, I really didn't lean on them for a fast turnaround.
Nothing major, just LEDs replaced around the bezels, talkback desensitized and some internal shielding added. Repairs were affected under warranty free of charge as requested and equipment is functioning properly.
Upon receipt, I did notice that the decal set they used is slightly larger than the plastic recess so they tend to come loose from the face plate on the ends. It looks like they tried to press around the face plate hard to get the decal to stick and rubbed up the decal with fine scratches. Not a deal breaker, but these radios where like new with not a single smudge, fingerprint or scratch on them. That's just how I roll
Oh well, anytime someone else handles you radios, you run the risk of cosmetic alterations.

I finally got my radio back after 4 weeks. Before my radio burnt the finals I had to keep my radio a 1/4 to a 1/3 with the power settings because close drivers said I was blowing their ears off. Now that I have it back I have to turn everything all the way up to be heard one half a mile away. Taking to another radio shop to see they put in smaller finals.
Well I'm thinking of purchasing 1 but having it set at 70 watts so not to do any internal damage .
Don't get me wrong. I think stryker has one hell of a radio. I bought mine from walcot radio. I had it for 2 years and for months before I had the finals burn out. In my opinion their customer service, for which I could never get anyone on the phone, to their warranty represent service really needs a major overhaul. I am talking about strykers overhaul.

I'm aware there after service is poor I havent seen any good posts on that well I wouldn't run my high power 70 watts and at times lower .
I am saying stryker not walcot needs to fix these problems.
To be total truthful it was very very rare that I ever turned my radio over 1/3 power. But thanks for the advice
