can anybody recomend a book that I could read to help me learn how to tune up a radio. I know theres not a whole lot to it. RF power and modulation and making sure its on frequency. But is there a good book to read, do I need skematics on every radio. Any input would be great thanks |

To do it right you need the proper test equipment, especially for the receiver side of things (which is the most important part of any tune-up, IMO.) |

Patzerozero,
Lou Franklin has helped many thousands of New Comers to the radio world as well as us older CBers over the years with his many great Products and Books. 
For the beginner or even the more experienced they are a big help and great reference material.
And Copper also carries a lot of his products and books to help the Copper Forum Members.
