SINCE 1976, OUR "BIG DUMMY'S BIBLE" OF CB REPAIR HAS HELPED THOUSANDS! * * * BRAND NEW & DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER * * * THE "SCREWDRIVER EXPERT'S" GUIDE (To Peaking Out & Repairing CB Radios) Updated Edition. (ISBN 0-943132-39-8) Our catalog list $25. "...Learned more from your book in one hour than 3 weeks in electronics school." (Mr. L.A., Lisbon OH) "...mobile...broken down for 3 months. I repaired it with your book's help for $1.00...so my book is now paid for." (GD, Canada) "...Fantastic! The best I've read, and I've read at least 40 books by so-called experts." (Mr. F.D.G., Odessa TX) "...your book...is amazing. I have taken a CB radio course which helped me get my license but your book has helped me fix the radios." (RLB, Hillsville VA) "...great, fantastic, there is someone who can explain a technical subject in a non-technical way." (LH, Rialto CA) You can repair 95% of all CB radio problems yourself with NO ELECTRONIC knowledge, and NO expensive special test equipment. THE "SCREWDRIVER EXPERT'S" GUIDE will show you how. Why waste a pile of money on overpriced correspondence school courses and vague electronics textbooks? You CAN learn enough to fix your own equipment and enjoy your hobby even more. CB is a worldwide pastime, with millions of radios in use. This includes many Ham operators looking for a cheap way to get on 10 Meters. People would still rather pay you $20-$30 for a simple repair, even on a bargain model, than spend a lot more for a new radio. And they're definitely not going to trash a quality name-brand model. You'll be the envy of all your radio friends. They'll come to you for help and advice. And strangers will gladly pay you for this knowledge. (The going repair rate is about $40 per hour.) In THE "SCREWDRIVER EXPERT'S" GUIDE (To Peaking Out & Repairing CB Radios), you'll learn things like: * How to "peak out" your transmitter, modulation, and receiver for greatest range and efficiency. * How to wire any mike or power mike to any CB radio, or diagnose and repair mike-related problems. * How to diagnose and repair the most common antenna/SWR problems. * How to diagnose and replace bad "Finals" and crystals for about $5. * Worthless gimmicks and junk products that don't do anything. * Tips on curing automobile ignition noise. * Methods of changing and adding channels for both crystal and PLL radios. * How to add FM to many AM or AM/SSB models. * How to unlock the Clarifier so that it also slides on Transmit. * Specific power & modulation adjustments for hundreds of American and foreign PLL models. In addition, you'll learn once and for all the real dope on antennas and SWR with the most detailed, comprehensive, and practical discussion anywhere, in a way anyone can understand. The myths about this least understood area of CB radio are exposed here once and for all. My personal experience in repairing over 2,000 CB radios has shown that about 75% of all problems are not even in the radio; they're almost always caused by bad mikes and bad antennas. Of the remaining 25%, perhaps 20% of all internal problems are the result of reversing the power leads, bad audio and transmitter "Finals," bad crystals, and bad solder connections. I can show you exactly how to diagnose such problems, how to physically locate and replace the defective part, and where to get an inexpensive new part. That leaves only about 5% of problems requiring professional help and very expensive, special test equipment. It's for this relatively small 5% that the electronics industry spends a fortune pushing their high-priced correspondence courses and vague theoretical textbooks. These products often emphasize troubleshooting methods and analyses for problems which rarely even occur in CB radios. On the other hand I've boiled down years of real, practical CB radio situations into an illustrated manual that anyone of average intelligence can understand. Electronics is a complicated science, but you don't have to know HOW something works to be able to fix it. That's why my information is totally unique: you just need eyes, common sense, and the ability to carefully follow illustrated instructions. One word of caution though: some of the repairs and adjustments that I'll describe may be illegal for you to perform without the proper license, or under the supervision of a duly licensed technician. This book is fully illustrated with drawings, charts, and schematics, including things like: * Color codes of most popular power mikes and how to wire them. * Common crystal mixing schemes for determining dead channels. * The most common audio and RF Final transistor types, and how to recognize and replace them. * How to locate the adjustments for "peaking out" the transmitter, modulation, and receiver sections of typical AM or AM/SSB rigs. * How to convert many popular PLL radios to new frequencies by substituting crystals or by simple switching arrangements. * Detailed SSB slider modifications. How to make them shift for both Receive and Transmit. Includes specific instructions for many popular chassis types. * FM conversions. How to add this very useful operating mode to most AM or AM/SSB models. Plus a unique Troubleshooting Flowchart! This method is often used by the pros to quickly isolate a fault or problem. All professionally written, typeset and bound in a large 8-1/2" x 11" format. Over the years it's been reviewed in many electronic magazines including CB MAGAZINE, S9, SCIENCE & ELECTRONICS, and POPULAR COMMUNICATIONS. You'll be amazed that finally, somebody who really knows CBs can show you in plain language and pictures how to repair and tune your own radio, and frustrate all those fast buck "repair" artists out there. And who knows? Maybe you'll even make some money yourself, or start an exciting career in electronics! Contact Seller to view a sample of this book in ZIPped PDF format.
