David My goal is to do just that, fix my own stuff. I have a pretty good rack of test equipment and have done several repair projects. The patient does not always survive. If the problem turns out to be something other than what I thought, now I have a brick. I wish I knew more, but meanwhile

Make it clear, I am not putting down programmers or anyone. I agree, I am trying to point out not all of us have the skill level to do repairs. That was my answer to the person that said hams should repair their own equipment. I can repair your computer, but god knows you do NOT want me to

Why would I do a repair if I can pay someone else to? Hopefully others will utilize my expertise for their needs even if they can do the work for themselves. I see this no different than yard work or oil changes. 73's Ameenah AG5VZ, WRMY872 On Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 12:29 PM Robert Polinski via

I wish hams would learn to fix their own stuff like the ham radio of old… that is why they include electronics on the test….. maybe they should remove those questions and replace them with where do I mail my radio for repair On Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 8:58 AM Jerry LaVoie via BVARC wrote: > Good
