Technician David Pratt replacing a sensitive element in a Yokigawa Navitec Gyrocompass, during an overnight on load of the 6500 Gross Ton container ship.	Owner Donavin Brush still knows how to get the job done. Here, he is replacing a 12VDC distribution system, with one of our power panels.	Cliff Melton is replacing the soft starts on a refrigeration system. The failure of the soft starts was preventing the vessel from completing the fishing season.
Bill Koch adding the final touches to one of our custom Alarm Panels. Bill custom builds our panels, based on a tried and true design.	David Pratt is shown here removing the transceiver module of a Kelvin Hughes radar.	John Schwer adds a shore power selector box, which permits the boat to connect to various power sources.
Kris Koenig performs many roles at STC. His primary function is billing and electronics part support, but he takes on the added tasks of shipping, receiving, parts delivery, inventory control, and emotional support.	Arguably our favorite team member, Rob Weaver is our accountant, and is responsible for ensuring the world maintains it's dynamic position in the universe, and issues our paychecks.	David attempts his "Repair by Osmosis" technique on a directional antenna dish for a satellite telephone. To date: no success.
Lead Welder Jaz Zamalloa preparing for his high rise welding adventure.	Electrician John wiring up a transformer for shore power conversion.	Cliff Melton takes on a dual role at STC, capable of performing his Electrical responsibilities in addition to Electronics service and installation. Here, he is shown adding an additional weatherproof box to a Skanti SSB coupler.
Technician Scott Darsney shown here atop Mt Ballyhoo. When Scott is not working on boats, he spends his time training for his adventurous treks around the Globe. One of his greatest achievements was climbing Mt. Everest.	Master Carpenter Duane Stapel has contributed to one of the most important aspects of installation, aesthetics. His fine woodwork has added an elegant touch to our installs, and can be seen in the Our Standards section of our website.	Scott and David are shown here on a hike to Beaver Inlet on the island of Unalaska.
Cliff and David remounting a monitor on top of a computer which they had just serviced. The group of ships had computers which were overheating, and Cliff and David reapplied thermal compound and added fans to each case.	David shown replacing a long wire antenna for a MF/HF receiver. Ice had formed on the previous antenna, weighing it down until it was spun up into a rotating radar scanner.	Cliff smiles as he conducts a checkup of one of our switchboards.
Lead welder, Jaz takes enjoying one of his favorite pastimes.	David is shown replacing the Magnetron on a radar. Magnetrons typically last between one and three years depending on use, and an indication that they are failing is loss of range resolution.
