[MilCom] Where Can I Get My Scanners Repaired in Southern CA?

[Greg Brazil]

Mike Herbert used to work for me.  Good guy, but a ham and talks a lot.  
Phone # 510-298-5100, http://www.remtronix.com/.  REMTRONIX is owned by 
the former manager of GREAmerica and Mike worked there also.  They are 
also the Alinco dealer.  If you did not know GRE made most of Radio 
Shack scanners.
