Becker USA doesn't seem to do a very good job advertising their repair services for the US. Googling "Becker USA Ft Lauderdale" I get a hit on http://www.beckerusa.com (located in Miramar FL?). Clicking on that I get redirected to https://www.becker-avionics.com/ in Germany. From there clicking on the "International Dealer-Service" link I see only European locations on the map (zooming to the US shows diddly-squat). Digging down further through "Dealer Portal US only" I see a "support" link to http://www.beckerusa.com/support which ... wait for it ... gives me a 404 error. OOPS. Blame it on Covid?

So this morning I called Becker USA (954-450-3137) in Miramar FL and they do repair all the models of Becker transceivers (3201, 4201 and 6201).

The support person I talked to said that the http://www.beckerusa.com domain was removed as corporate Becker Germany didn't want all the countries having their own web sites. It now is a redirect to http://www.becker-avionics.com/. If you click on a small black pull down in the upper left corner of the web site, and select "Americas/Japan/Australia", you get the USA location information. I expressed that http://www.becker-avionics.com/support should list all the country specific repair sites instead of a 404 error. I am probably tilting at windmills.

I will update my presentation.
