Re: [Swlfest] Re: Is anyone going to the Fest that can fix an LCD display on a scanner?

Thanks Mark.....I am reluctant to ship it to RS because of the mods on
it. Hubby thinks I am being paranoid. It's a PRO- 2022 that I have had
for about 15 years. The mods were done at one of the Grove conventions
here by Cellular Security Group (remember them?)

Even though the mods are legal, it is unfortunate in this day and age
when we have to think of such issues before we send off our electronics
for repair. 

I will contact G & G Monday morning. Thanks for the help!!!

If it's good enough for the Scum, it's good enough for me!

Maryanne, I've seen a couple of mentions on the net about guys who
repair 
various versions of Rat Shack scanners.  You might want to try a Google
search on repairs for your version on the scanner or subscribe to the
SCAN-L list.....U of Missouri I think ???...they're a pretty
knowledgeable group of guys.  Another alternative would be to contact
Mark Meese or Uncle Skip. They know a lot of guys in the scanner
community who might be able to help you.

I have a scanner that has had some adjustments done to it, as a result I 
am reluctant to send it off to RatShack (where I orig. purchased it) for
repair. I've been busy and haven't had the time to call a couple of
people the local Ham Radio Outlet said could repair it. 
Anyone going to the Fest that might be able to help me out? Thanks. 
    
Maryanne and list,
Repairing an LCD display is probably too tricky of a fix to attempt at
the Fest.
If it is a fairly new purchase I think it would be best to take it to
your local Rad Shack and
let them send it off to Ft. Worth for repair. If it is a more vintage
model them then I suggest
sending it to Scanner Scum endorsed G&G Communications. Contact them
first,
let them know the problem and they will be happy to to let you know the
best course 
of action to take.
Here is their info:

Phone: 585-768-8151 / Fax: 585-768-7175
E-mail - ggcomm@xxxxxxxx
Hopefully they can take care of you. 
More people with scanners is just one goal of the Scanner Scum!!
Mark
