FTDX101MP , I’m blown away
I have bought quite a lot of radios from ML&S, they have all been great , service is amazing, well packaged , always great, but I was never blown away by the radios , I only thought they were good, until I took the plunge and bought the Yaesu FTDX 101MP, wow, the holy grail of radios, it’s picking up signals I could never get before , the noise it is reducing is unbelievable, now this is a keeper , my wife hasn’t noticed it yet and will soon go crazy, but it will be worth it, it cost a few pounds , but it’s the big daddy of them all, I am completely blown away and wish I had bought it 5 years ago, thank you ML&S .

Fast delivery with Royal Mail
Fast delivery with Royal Mail. I would always pay extra for Royal Mail as there is always a problem with other carriers at our address.

The correct item arrived on time and with tracking. It was well packaged. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet as I am planning to set it up with my intermediate call sign which I hope to obtain in the next few weeks.

Poor customer service
I placed an order for two, Tyt Md-441 walkie talkies and a programming cable. I contacted the company for support, I explained that I struggle with phone calls as I’m disabled and therefore needed support via email. I emailed them 4 days ago as the programming cable is faulty (it won’t connect via software they linked me too) I installed the drivers, I tried 8 different usb ports on 2 different computers, the software said failed to connect each time. The product was advertised as having voice security, yet you can’t activate it without the software and a programming cable, the cable feels cheap and I believe is faulty. Despite asking for no calls, they tried calling me 4 times, they don’t reply to support emails with any kind of support or help. I’m going to have to raise a PayPal dispute as the products are faulty and not working as described.
Update when a customer repeated the asks to not receive phone calls as they give her anxiety then the company ignored this and kept calling this alone is poor Customer service and discrimination. The company never emailed any software as they claimed. I informed the company that I installed the latest software and still having an issue. The latest software was on the manufacturers website. If this was Amazon they would have sent a replacement cable by now

Reply from ML&S Martin Lynch & Sons Ltd
We’re sorry to read this review, but we do not feel it fairly reflects the support provided.
The customer first contacted us on 4th June asking where to find the programming software. This email was replied to within 20 minutes with a link to the relevant download page.
The customer then emailed again on Saturday asking for help with the software. One of our engineers called the customer the same day to try and assist directly. The customer was unavailable, so our engineer called again later that afternoon, at which point the customer advised that they did not want telephone support.
On Monday morning at 9:00am, our support team emailed the customer again to ask whether they had managed to get the software working. Later that same day, we also emailed over a copy of the latest programming software for them to download and try.
On Tuesday morning, we explained that the latest version of the software needed to be tested first to rule out a software issue. If the problem still remained after trying this, we would have arrange a replacement programming cable.
We appreciate the customer prefers email support and we have tried to assist by email as well. However, we strongly dispute the claim that no support was provided. We replied promptly, attempted direct technical assistance, followed up, supplied updated software, and offered a replacement cable if the issue continued.
For this reason, we do not believe a 1-star review or PayPal dispute is a fair reflection of the situation. We remain happy to help resolve the issue, but we do need the customer to try the latest software first so we can confirm whether the issue is with the cable or the software setup.
Good price and prompt delivery
