I would second the book "Understanding Amateur Radio". While in high school, I read and studied that book wanting to be an electronic technician. When I went to college, my first several quarters of electronics were sleepers. That book had taught me what I needed to know to pass those electronic classes without attending the classes.
You can find UAR for a couple buck at most hamfests. 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Tue, 2/1/11, Richard Tucker <[email protected]> wrote: From: Richard Tucker <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Use of vtvm & Signal genorator To: "Michael Harden" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: Tuesday, February 1, 2011, 9:18 AM #yiv1369962224 DIV { MARGIN:0px;} Michael, The best thing to do is get started. I have an old ARRL publication which has helped me with basic trouble shooting and helped me learn a few things along the way. It is Understanding Amateur Radio, end ed., 1976. It has chapters on: Some Needed fundamentals, How receivers work, and a good section on troubleshooting.

I am new to radio repair and have some Hammarlund and Drake rigs I would like to refurbish. My lack of experience and knowledge has brought me here. I have read that using a VTVM and a Signal generator is very helpful in this enterprise. I have some experience with a vom , however I have none with a signal generator. My question is, is this the correct choice and should I endeavor to acquire and learn to use them.
