Hello Frank

Can you recommend a book or two that will teach me about CB
fundamentals, repairing and tweaking?

I have an little electronic background and even own an oscilloscope. I
think that if I learn the workings of a CB from the ground up it will be
easier for me to troubleshoot them. The first book should be very basic so I
can get the fundamentals down before diving off into the deep end.

Thanks



"The Radio Amateur's Handbook" by the ARRL is exactly what you are
looking for. You can usually find a copy at your local public library,
or pick one up on ebay for just a few bucks. Just about any edition
printed in the last 20-30 years will be fine. I do -NOT- recommend any
of these 'CB-tweak-n-mod' books or CDs -- not only because most of the
mods are illegal, but because most of the information is gathered from
wannabe techs and power-junkies that have little experience and even
less formal education in electronics. Learn electronics the right way
and you won't have to unlearn a whole bunch of CB-voodoo later on.
