[Test-Equipment] TV-7 Calibration - Free Manuals!

[Eric Lemmon]

Rather than get the Army Technical Manuals from a private site, why not go
directly to the U. S. Army Electronic Technical Manual Site, at the LOGSA
(Logistics Support Agency) site?  Go here:

http://tinyurl.com/2bwexm

Once the page opens, type "TS-352" or "TV-7" (or any other equipment name)
in the "Pub Title Text" box.  There are a few items of equipment that
require a username and password, but most do not.  This is a great resource!

John,

Thank you for the great information. I will use it.

Best,
