Due to the shop’s work backlog, we are currently not taking new work orders.

Services

Manufacturers we specialize in:

Yaesu, iCom, Motorola, Kenwood, Galaxy, RCI, Cobra, and Uniden. Due to parts availability and fragile wire wound components, we may pass on repairs for old or vintage equipment. No tube equipment unless you have received a work order number and can hand carry to the shop in Paige, TX.

Radio Alignment (RX/TX)

Starting with functional equipment, this service will align it to be within factory specs or better. 

Radio Repair

This service is offered to repair a radio that has one or more issues.

Upgrades & Modifications

From manufacturer authorized mods (MARS) to experimental and quality of life improvements, we’ve done it all.

How It Works

Submit a Work Order Request

Please use this link for the intake form to request the work you need done. Once we have reviewed your form, we will assign and email you a work order number. Please note: work order numbers (or slots) are not transferable to other equipment or other customers.

Repair work does not include future technical support to operate your equipment. Repair work does not include unlimited texts or calls with a technician to discuss future projects/repairs. You must submit a new work order request.

Shipping

It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the radio or equipment arrives safely. I suggest a heavy cardboard box with room for multiple layers of bubble wrap or expanding foam (examples: click here). Customer pays shipping both ways. Please include a note with your package that has your contact info and return address. Once equipment is ready to be shipped back, a tracking number will be provided. Shipping and receiving is located in Bastrop, TX. The repair facility is located in Paige, TX. Please do not share our address with other customers or Ham clubs. Equipment randomly sent to these addresses will be considered a charitable gift. We thank you!

Payment

Once work is completed, we will send an invoice via email. If picking up in person, invoice must be paid upon receipt. If shipping, invoice must be paid before equipment will be shipped. Abandoned equipment becomes the property of Julian’s Radio Repair. Equipment is considered abandoned when work complete invoice is not paid in 20 days. By sending your equipment in you agree to these terms.
