[R-390] Suggested Test Equipment for R-390A Alignment ??

[Paul H. Anderson]

Terry,

I like the URM-25 because, to be blunt, I'm not the brightest bulb when it
comes to repair of RF requipment, and I like following the exact
instructions with the exact equipment called for.  But if you can ask
questions and understand the answers like "how do I get 1 UV out of my
framitz siggen", then you'll do fine with that approach, too.

I think there is enough information in the archives to do basic alignment
with no siggen, but an analog meter does help - the VOM I've got is too
sensitive sometimes for alignment purposes.  I use a TS-505 or a Simpson
260.
