Since 1979, the service division of International Radio has been providing intensive full-time repair of amateur radio equipment exclusively, as a complement to the crystal filters and newsletters sold by International Radio. As a result, we have a vast amount of experience and expertise and parts inventory.

We use exact replacement parts when available and offer repair service on almost all Kenwood, ICOM, Yaesu (except models built before the FT-101ZD), Azden, Ten-Tec, Atlas and KDK equipment; also on all linear amplifiers. We will repair lightning-struck equipment, and do so constantly.

Our most intensive area of expertise is in repair of Kenwood and Icom HF transceivers. Over the years, we have performed about 1000 repairs on some models, such as the TS-940S and the TS-440S, as well as hundreds of repairs on each of most models of Kenwood, Icom and certain Yaesu HF rigs. Over 450 hams per year send their radios from all over the United States to us for repair, so why not take advantage of our expertise when you need to have your radio equipment repaired, aligned or modified! Our experience will result in your benefit when you allow us to repair your radio!

Optimized Alignments
Besides offering prompt, expert repair, we also offer the famous International Radio Optimized Alignments, an exhaustive precision alignment package that addresses all possible alignment points inside your radio including the transmit and receive IF sections, all PLL, BFO, reference and carrier oscillator frequencies, ALC, APC, TX protection, internal voltage regulators, all transmit and receive metering, traps, notches, BPF's, noise blankers and more.

You will be provided with a detailed report describing all alignment points addressed and the amount of adjustment required in your radio for each as well as exact performance results of your radio's basic functions.

Cost for this is normally between $56.50 and $113.00, depending on the complexity of the model and the amount of overall adjustment needed (for example, Optimized Alignment cost for a Kenwood TS-940 is usually $84.75).
