Questions about a repair?

Greenfield, Ohio · Amateur radio & electronics

Can I ship my equipment to DX Repair?

Yes. Start with a repair booking so the equipment and issue can be reviewed. Confirm shipping instructions with us before sending it. Customers are responsible for shipping both ways and for safe packaging.

Do I pay a fee when I book?

No. A booking does not collect payment. When your equipment arrives, we determine whether a Diagnostic/Bench Fee applies. Not all repairs require one.

Will you ask before carrying out the repair?

You’ll receive an estimate for approval before the proposed repair work. The applicable Diagnostic/Bench Fee is discussed separately from repair authorization.

Can I check the progress of my repair?

A private repair link lets you view your repair’s status. Access closes when the ticket is marked Collected or Cancelled.

Is the repair covered by a warranty?

Repair work carries a 90-day warranty, subject to the repair’s documented coverage. Abuse, misuse, and subsequent modification are excluded. Contact us about the original repair before arranging a return.

Do you repair phones or tablets?

This booking flow is for amateur radio and related equipment. Phones and tablets are not included in the equipment options.

Love the radio. Rather leave the soldering to someone else?

DX Repair can assemble kits from the QRP Labs QMX line and other radios supplied as assemble-it-yourself or solder-it-yourself kits.

We understand how much you want your new radio in your hands. When a manufacturer’s assembly waiting list stretches into months, let us help you take a quicker route from a box of parts to your next contact.

Tell us the kit and options you have in mind. We’ll confirm pricing and our available build schedule before you send it.

REPEATER INTERFERENCE INVESTIGATION

Find the signal.
Clear the air.

Your repeater should bring people together. Interference shouldn’t keep them off the air.

DX Repair offers KrakenSDR-assisted radio direction finding to help repeater owners, trustees, and clubs investigate disruptive transmissions and narrow down their source.

From repeated key-ups to persistent interfering signals, we can help review what you’re hearing, document patterns, and plan a focused direction-finding investigation.

Tell us the repeater frequency, general location, and when the problem occurs. We’ll review the situation and confirm scope, availability, and pricing.

SUPPORT FOR YOUR REPEATER

Less disruption.
More conversation.

Start with what you know. We’ll help work out what needs to be measured next.

01 / RECURRING DISRUPTION

Patterns worth investigating.

Unexplained key-ups, repeated transmissions, or interference that returns at particular times. Share your observations so we can plan around the signal.

02 / DIRECTION FINDING

Narrow down the source.

KrakenSDR-assisted direction finding helps establish bearings toward a transmitting signal. Observations from suitable locations can help focus the search area.

03 / DOCUMENTED FINDINGS

Facts you can work with.

Bring together frequency, timing, signal observations, and direction-finding results to help your repeater team decide what to do next.

START WITH THE DETAILS

Help us understand what you’re hearing.

Include in your inquiry

Repeater callsign, input/output frequencies, and general area
Dates, times, duration, and how often interference occurs
What the interference sounds like and how it affects operation
Any existing signal logs or observations your team can share

A focused investigation, with a clear plan.

We’ll review the reported signal and discuss suitable monitoring or fieldwork before scheduling. Travel, scope, and fees are confirmed with your quote.

Direction finding depends on the signal being active and receivable. Terrain, reflections, signal strength, and intermittent transmissions can affect the results. We’ll discuss those limits for your situation.

Let’s get your repeater talking again.

Tell us what’s happening. We’ll help plan the next step.
