Hi all,

I am a test equipment nut, as I guess some of you are also. Anyway, even

if you are not, for sure you use some test equipment for your radio

repairs. I think it would be interesting to comment which are your most

used rigs.

On my side, my mostly used test equipment is a Fluke 77 II DVM,

followed, in no special order, by a Tektronix 2465B oscilloscope, an

HP-5384A frequency counter, a Rohde & Schwarz CMT-84 Radiocommunication

Tester (now paired with a CMTA-94 :-) ) and a Bird 43 wattmeter along

several slugs.

This covers perhaps 95% of my work... and I fix quite a lot of units,

from large base units to walkies.

You can see an slightly outdated view of my main workbench here:

And you, which are your workbench mates :-)?

Best regards,

JOSE
