Defpom's Electronics Repair

Electronics repair and electronics engineering, fixing test equipment from Fluke, HP, Agilent, Keysight, Boonton, Rohde & Schwarz, Racal-Dana, Philips, Sencore, Marconi, etc., plus other general electronics repairs on whatever I get on my bench.

I can work with brands to review products, so get in touch (I will only reply to brand owned email addresses, no gmail etc. there are scammers out there)

I do reviews, mailbag, projects, Arduino, CB radio, and fix electronics, or show anything that I happen to be fiddling with.

I believe repairing items and not contributing to a wasteful throw away society is essential, I want to work with companies that support repair, such as Keysight, Fluke, or any other manufacturer that publishes service manuals and diagrams, or that provide repair parts (so no, not you Apple) !

I upload new videos every week, so SUBSCRIBE and click the BELL !

Anyone into radio will probably know my website: www.radiomods.co.nz

Thanks for watching!
Scott.

I scored some test gear from a local auction, is a lot cheaper than eBay, so I have some new items for future videos.
I do not know what the condition is like of each item, they may work, they may not.

Just a reminder to check your car tyres today… had some young guys overtake me today on a rural road and crashed their car through a fence and rolled a couple of times into a field, badly injuring his friend in the process, I was the first one there with my wife, I was dealing with the accident victims whilst my wife was calling an ambulance for them. He had a flat tyre, (which was also bald from doing burn outs), driver was ok, passenger had chest injuries and was in agony for over 30 minutes until the ambulance and police arrived.

So it turns out crashing your car into a tree that has been downed in a storm and is completely blocking the road tends to break the car… well that was a fun drive home tonight, blown radiator and no bumper anymore, damnit.

If you are in NZ don’t buy from “Tech Supply Shed”

I purchased a $90 web cam from them 2 months ago, still hasn’t arrived, no reply to emails or to phone calls, left a message on their system, no response to it, I’m being ghosted.

RIP George.
Just had to put my last cat to sleep… she was 21 and was often heard in the background of my videos saying hello.

So I think I might be the first person to successfully do a CB channel modification on the new Cobra 29Ltd Chrome AM/FM model!
I just finished working on it today after many many hours working through issues interfacing to the factory MCU and SDR.
I gave this unit two bands, as that was easy to implant keeping the original band, but they could easily have more!

I made this track 13 years ago when I settled my divorce… seems fitting I promote it now that I just paid off the mortgage I took out to cover it.
