HAM RADIO TEST EQUIPMENT

    The intricacies of installing, optimizing and keeping your radios working is as much art as it is science.  A combination of electrical theory, physics, math, and magic must come together perfectly or your signal does not get out.  Or even worse it gets out but poorly.

    It takes a specialized group of tools and diagnostic equipment to install your radios properly and to tweak all of the necessary adjustments.  When a piece of ham radio equipment breaks you can't just run to the local electronics repair shop to get it repaired.  You either ship it off or fix it yourself.  I like to fix what I can which gives me an excuse to own a bunch of really cool tools in addition to my radios.
