Usually, one week or less... sometimes longer, if parts need to be ordered... or if there are any unusual or intermittent problems.

Sorry, I only accept shipments from the Continental U.S.

No.

Will you do repairs while I wait?

Sorry, no.

 

Can you do modifications?

It depends on what sort of modification. I can do factory-recommended updates (service bulletins) and some other modifications. Some mods I consider worth doing. Some I don't. I will not do "PIN diode" or "Schottky diode" mods. Nor will I increase transmitter output beyond manufacturer's specifications.
