Wood Electronics

So wood electronics is a great and very reputable store. Always respectful honest and helpful is always more than willing to help and never in any way scams if anything I have gotten things from him where he has probably giving it to me at cost. Absolutely highly suggest if you need any help with electronics you stop in or call he's always have a lot of his wife and goes out of his way.

Great guy over the phone and in person, he knows a lot about this. I appreciate his help in getting me the right antenna for the scanner for my bear tracker 885 that’s a CB and scanner. Will do business in the future!

Found a beautiful Cobra 2000 in like-new condition for a reasonable price, compared to anything I’ve seen elsewhere. Thanks Jim!

Cool little shop owned by a nice guy, not too many places like this around still unfortunately… especially in Cranberry

Mr. Jim was super nice, very informative, and honest. I would recommend his service to anyone and everyone. I will definitely be returning in the future, to have work done on my equipment. Thank you again. Mr. Jim.

Pros:

-Jim is the first shop that offers services without a BS story. He knows, as I do, that you can’t get massive wattage gains from a peak and tune. I’ve been to a handful of shops, and all the others would tell me they could make my radio push 50 watts. Even if that were true, that’s not enough to be noticeably louder or transmit further. Read up on how wattage affects transmit range in CB radios, and you’ll see what I mean.

-not a hack shop. Jim’s “peak and tune” service simply optimizes what your radio does. No cutting resistors out or removing other parts. I had a different shop do this to one of my radios (I didn’t realize it at the time) and the thing would talk too loud and bleed onto other channels... ended up scrapping that radio. I didn’t know back then that you’re not supposed to hack parts off the board.

-reasonable prices. I was expecting accessories to be far more expensive, as this is a brick and mortar shop.

-variety. There are many things to choose from, and most of them are accessories I’d use. I like the antenna and mounting choices.

-makes his own coax and it’s actually good. I’m getting less than 1.5:1 SWR with a 9’ coax. I tested it along with a “peaked and tuned” cobra 29 I bought from there. I had a friend help me by trading places with me so I could listen and talk on both radios I have. One in my car (my older galaxy 979 with a Wilson magnet mount), and the cobra with the new coax ( installed in my Pete).His coax and “tweak and peak” make a noticeable difference in clarity compared to a cobra out of the box. I was transmitting and listening clearly, even with the front of my car parked almost touching the front of my Pete. No splatter or feedback. I then drove a little over a mile away, while having a back and forth conversation with my friend on my other radio. Same clarity.

Cons:

-we have different tastes in microphones, but that is subjective, so it’s not really a complaint. Just had to have at least one con to contrast the “pros” section of my review.

Overall: I like the prices and choices. I need at least one more radio, so I’ll get it from Jim.

Jim has worked with my family for more than 40 years in different areas of electronics. Hands down one of the nicest most professional guys in the industry you will meet. I honestly believe there's not a radio shop in the country that can compete with his expertise on all levels of radio and customer service. I will actually be in this week to purchase a new radio. And probably spend over an hour there BSing.

Went in for a simple little part for my CB antenna. They had all kinds of parts and supplies for CBs and scanners. Prices were reasonable and Jim was super nice and knowledgeable. I'll definitely go back there if I need anything else.

Great guy who helped sort out my botched CB install. They stock all of the parts and accessories for your CB installation and offer wisdom, guidance, tuning and more. Very helpful for getting you the best performance from your CB system.

I just took a Icom 746 pro ham radio board to have Jim to fix my backlight. No one else would take on the job. Jim repaired and soldered what needed to be done! Works awesome now. Couldn't be happier. Thank you !!

People like this are a great resource to the community. I went in there just to see what he had there and ended up leaving with my CB tuned while I was there. If you go, plan to spend some extra time BSing a little. Nice guy

Very helpful purchased a mobile antenna he helped assemble and answered all my questions I recommend going there if you need help and price was lowest i seen anywere online very happy with purchase

I have been here numerous times over a span of many years. I always get my questions answered here and he always has what I am looking for. Anytime someone wants a repair shop I recommend this place hands down. A +

Had a great experience this morning with Jim. He helped me out and got my cb radio to where I wanted it. This man know his stuff! Thank you Jim.

Very knowledgeable. Also extremely willing to help you get set up. If you go anywhere else your doing yourself a disservice...10 out of 10 would recommend

Very good customer service, a great small american business, they are bery very knowledgable, even gabe me an antenna for a discount. Best customer service ive received in a very long time. I will be back.

I dropped off a client and then I had an antenna made for my digital TV and it works great.

Great electronics store, stopped for my dad and the owner and I talked for an hour, very nice guy, wasn't even talking electronics, I would stop in just to talk cars again...👍👍

If you have any CB Radio problem or looking to buy one. You will not go work with this place. He has 50+ years of experience

Without "Radio Shacks"... This is the best place for all radio/electronics.
Very skilled & knowledgable techs.
