Lol

I ask your professional opinion on the scope not your personal opinion on my work ethics buddy P.S. Caption kill-a-twat would be a better name(y)

I'll put it to you like this I'm a 25 year old kid still and if I feel like doing something to the best of my ability that's what I'm gonna do there has been so many people that talk crap about my work but I prove the Wrong all the time cause I Strive to do the very best I can and if you see...

Some people call it paranoid or OCD that's fine I call it doing the best I can... Somw people might say I'm paranoid for having 10,000 rounds of ammunition I like to call it prepared Same goes with three months of dry goods stocked in storage some might say paranoid I call it prepared Or...

You have to know how something works before you can fix it right??? That's what I'm trying to accomplish first but wanted to get a general idea of equiptment and how it works and what I need too

Thanks leap frog I really appreciate you taking it easy on some one who is just starting out I am not in this hobby to just throw around junk radios and try to earn a buck all I was saying was like all hobbies they cost money and if that cost can be countered by a little profit it never hurts...

Thank you caption kilowatt I do appreciate your input I don't mean to get you flustard... I pay for my scope online call frys with my order number ask them to check the scope out for any defects and make sure it is with in specifications then pay a small fee drive and hour and a half to the city...

Would this be killing two birds with one stone? Or just get get a bird meter and some slugs with a separate frequency counter?

I also have been eye balling this little guy for a while now... What's your thoughts on it... Everyone says dosy sucks bird is the best bla bla bla but idk everyone has an opinion https://www.ebay.com/itm/162111424261

I know digital is a little cheaper but can't you view more readings with a digital? I would only assume it would make it easier for me starting out and learning if I had an analog huh?

Frys if you request they can calibrate and check your oscilloscope for factory defects before you buy it to ensure quality that's what I was getting at sorry didn't make that clear I just don't want to be aligning radios with a damaged scope and how would I know if it was knocked around all...

Most of you are gonna say this idiot don't know what the hell he is trying to do and you probably right any help would be appreciated on how to use a scope and how to run full alignment would be good also thanks there is no one around here that works on radios at all it would be a fun hobby for...

I don't know how many of you are familiar with frys but I don't want a scope that is shipped across country (twice) I know it had to be shipped to store some how but anyways I want to rule out possible shipping damage as much as I can if this scope is not acceptable for radio usage can you give...

http://www.frys.com/product/8708441?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Be gentle with me I'm new and just looking into equipment for alignment and tune would this be an acceptable scope for that...?

Lol yea I have a cheap $40 swr/power meter workman I know it's not the best but it works well as far as I can tell

Yea dvm on ohm setting would probably work pretty well on diagnosing that issue next time I would think one lead to your mount mechanism and other lead to good chassis ground/ battery negative That is all in theory of mine

Well I can understand that the ground plane some how went slim to none while the lid was fully latched probably only grounding through the rest of the car with two bolt holes that are painted... Thanks for the Info any input is appreciated!

Thanks I didn't know that small amount wouldn't affect signal that much it just seems like I receive better the lower the swr

I I understand swr is affected constantly while in motion by anything that obstructs the signal but I park in the same place with the same surroundings and it still is different I even park within inches of the exact same spot most of the time and swr is different I have heard about the solar...

I do appolojize I am still very wet behind the ears in this hobby as you could say, I should have named this post something different any ways thanks for your input I was just trying to diagnose this issue and I found two different issues that seemed at the time may have been hand and hand but...
