Looking for help...

I do not and have not run a CB repair shop, so feel free to ignore me when I say none of that would be useful for CB repair.

Look for at least a 50 MHz scope. CB's operate at 27 MHz, and some of them have VCOs that work in the 38 MHZ range. A word of warning on looking for a 'scope: Do not confuse bandwidth with the sample rate on the newer "pocket" scopes. I've seen them advertised as 50 or 70 MHz scopes when in reality that's their sample rate, and the bandwidth is significantly lower.

For an RF signal generator you'll want something that can go up to around 30 MHz, and can do AM modulation. That's because when you're aligning a radio, many alignment instructions specify a certain frequency, at a certain voltage, with a certain percent of modulation.

All of this stuff can be had on ebay, it just won't be new if it's cheap and it won't be cheap if it's new.

For working on CB radio, the equipment needs to be rated at 50mhz or better.

You can find a scope on ebay, along with a freq counter, multimeter, RF sampler, and a dummy load.
Decent quality watt meter a must.

Lots of threads on this forum for using and hooking up this equipment too.
