HTX-100 Repair Service
| *** SUMMER SPECIAL! *** 10% OFF Labor on TWO HTX-100s sent in at the same time. Ends September 30, 2026. |
Do you have an HTX-100 that you love, but is in need of repair? My risk-free $99 flat-rate labor repair service can bring life back into your old rig!
Here's how it works:
- Send me your HTX-100 for a FREE diagnostic evaluation.
- I'll carefully inspect, diagnose, and review your radio, giving you a written email estimate for its repair. Labor is always a flat-rate fee of $99, plus parts, which will vary based on your rig's specific issues (typically under $25).
- If you don't want to proceed, you can just decline the repair, and only pay to have it shipped back to you. There will be no charge for the evaluation. Alternatively, you can ask me to make you an offer to buy it as parts.
- Assuming you do want it repaired, just let me know and I'll get right to work on it. Many repairs can be completed in about a week, but sometimes it can take month(s), depending on replacment part availability.
- Once repair is underway, you just pay for the labor, parts, and return shipping back to you. PayPal is preferred, but personal check is also okay.
Included in your HTX-100 repair is a complete tune-up alignment, calibrating your radio to original manufacturer specifications. In addition, all repairs come with a 90-day labor warranty (you only pay for shipping and parts on any additonal repairs within 90 days). Feel free to Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Frequently-Asked Questions
A: YES! To skip the estimate-approval step and streamline the process, let me know up-front the maximuim you're willing to pay for parts (i.e. $25). That way, I can begin repair immediately upon receipt, as long as I can project the parts expense to be under your limit.
Q: How much does return shipping cost?
A: Typically, USPS with $250 insurance costs about $25 (more for bigger/heavier radios).
Q: Should I send in the microphone and power cord?
A: Yes, please do include them, as I'll check them over as part of my evaluation process.
Q: What shipping carrier do you recommend?
A: I've had the best results with USPS (both Priority and Ground). Fedex has been slightly below-average, and UPS has had the most issues/damages.
Q: Do you work on the Radio Shack Realistic HTX-10 (Maycom/Albrect AE485S), the Uniden President HR-2510/2600, or the Ranger RCI-2950/2750?
A: YES! I have performed many repairs and calibrations on these, and I'm glad to work on yours. The flat-rate labor charges are:
- HTX-10: $109 (+ parts + shipping)
- HR-2510/2600 & RCI-2950/2750: $129 (+ parts + shipping)
Q: Do you work on and repair other radios?
A: I have repaired many other radios. However, since this isn't a business, but a labor of love for me, I have limited my focus primarilly to the HTX-100 and its direct cousins (HTX-10, HR-2510, HR-2600). If you are in need of repair on another radio or have associated questions, please send me an email at [email protected].
Q: Can you repair the "Er1" showing on my HTX-202 or HTX-404?
A: Yes, I can. The labor cost is $50 + $15 for the replacement memory bakup battery + shipping back to you.
Q: Can you "re-cap" (replace all the electrolytic capacitors in) my rig?
A: While a good recommendation for all older rigs, in my experience, I have found that less than 25% of my repairs have been capacitor-related. In addition, due to the type of labor required, many hams prefer doing this themselves and would find paying me to be cost-prohibitive. Therefore, I do not offer a re-capping service.
Q: What do people say about your repairs?
A: Here are a few articles Ham Clubs have written about my repair service:
