RNS repairs.
« on: February 09, 2014, 04:59:38 pm »
Anyone know any good repair shops for an RNS unit please? Personal recommendations, places you've used or heard good reports about etc.

Cheers.

This is the person I used in daventry

I've spoken to this guy at length. He's a real genuine good egg, but unfortunately he can't repair my unit as it's a DAB RNS.

Having looked everywhere on the web for a repair solution, the only place where I can get it done for less than £400 is Poland.

I know these offer some support for repairing the RNS510

Worth a try since it's DAB  unit!

It's not the GPS antenna. It's the RNS510. I have two others sat here which both work fine on my factory fit GPS antenna, and the one I just bought doesn't.
