    Hello, I have been to alot of cb shops around the country and about 5 mths ago I got on line for a cb shop to fix my Ranger 6300 F-turbo that I bought for $500. I found a guy that I talked with and he seemed decent and "Jack" called me several times and I thought he was ok. I sent him my radio, and a check for $140 for his fixing the problem that he seemed positive at time was wrong and the money to send my radio back via a flat rate box. Well 5 mths, NO radio, NO contact on his part, and NO return of any sort. He has a web site up for "fire communications" aka "292 radio shop". His web site has all sorts of blacklists on other shops and as much as you try you can't add to that list or double check anything. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!! I run on a "Dedicated" type run so don't get into his area any more, but figured that all drivers need to know of the dangers of trusting some one with your belongings, no matter how good they sound. I was foolish and still I want to give this guy "Good" public info about him and his shop. I can give anyone his full info if you want to let me know, I would be glad to give "Jack" some of his own medicine. Thanks

    SADLY .......

    There is NO LICENSE REQUIRED to fix CB radios ! And it is ILLEGAL for a state to pass such a requirement. Also any defect in your radio is YOUR problem not the tech that works on it.
    The FCC in 1982 dropped this license rule where a tech had to certify a radio when he worked on it so you had SOME protection that the work would be done right.
    So now your stuck with a system that has no regulation or requirements. Not that this is ALL BAD however when you run into a problem who are you going to conplain to ????

    All you can do is what your doing and that is to BAD MOUTH him to the world :biggrin_25510: Have at it and I hope you cost him LOTS OF WORK .........

    Unfortunately I've read this about Jack more than once in the past several years.Some people have got what they've ordered or what they sent for repair back.Stay on his case and pursue your legal options.In reality is is a great tech, he uses no BS swing mods,sparkifications whacked-packs,rollingtunes or whatever some techs call their magical nonsense.
