Yikes! Dont click that link. Spoof browsers pop up like crazy!
In the past radios were made with parts the size of the kiddie versions of legos, that TS 570 is pretty much all on chip. Not easy to diagnose.
What's the radio doing/not doing? Would be awesome if someone on here knew the fix for your problem!

Having been in a, similar, service-based business myself, the simple fact is that you need to have a consistent flow of sales to support salary and overhead. That said, fewer hams are all shopping for the best price for equipment and supplies, therefore buying from the big boys online. On top of that, manufacturer's like to pay flat-rate for repairs, which is normally OK and its a hard-sell to convince them to pay for those difficult troubleshooting jobs, such as intermittent issues. So for a brick and mortar store with fixed costs (rent and utilities, insurance), inventory, tools, test equipment, salaries, manufacturers'-required training, etc., its just not a viable startup for anyone today. Some of us remember Heathkit stores, had a virtual monopoly on their gear and no shortage of customer-built-incorrectly repairs and still closed its doors years ago. I elected factory-authorized field-service repair for large UPS systems.

Why doesn't a city as large as the Houston METRO area have at least ONE Factory Authorized SERVICE facility to repair major BRANDS of HAM RADIO Equipment, guessing MAJOR manufacturers support of their products not as important to the corporate types & purchasers are left to their own when REPAIRS or WARRANTY SERVICE IS NEEDED.

This person is not local...but I have had good success with him. He did a complete overhaul (capacitor replacement, alignment, etc.) on my TS-850S and turned it around in just a few days.
