My last two dealings (within last two years) with Bomar have me skeptical. One GE ICOM had to go back because it was drifting all over the place and I did pay for the temperature compensation. I told them to take their time when I returned it as I wanted it done right. This was a UHF 2C. They had it returned in a little over a week - certainly a bit hurried.
I also had some GE crystal elements sent in for re-crystal and temperature compensation and all of them came back with the same comp caps installed. I called and asked their engineering department and was told "they usually work fine with the existing capacitors." It didn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. Next time back to ICM.
