The equipmentperforms exceptionally welland once the frequencies areselected, the MIPRO gearholds onto it.”Kimbrough was also very complimentaryabout Avlex Corporation’s technical supportservices. “Avlex has great support,” saysKimbrough. “Before we travel, we frequentlycall Fred Canning to check on frequencyconditions in the area where we’re going andto see if there are any frequencies we need toavoid.
