Those are good books I have them but it still takes a bit of knowledge and somewhat understanding basic electronic theory or one is still gonna be left in the dark. Lou is a great guy and pretty damn smart and straight forward.
I like hime because he actually EXPLAINS WHY things are done and why things do what they do which in the longrun helps with understanding whats going on it trouble shooting and the repairs.
He also has some cool products speech Processor channel filter guards ETC which he also eplains the benifits of them in laymens terms so 98% of people can understand wht thyey do and why they work.
I have some other really cool repair programs on disc somewhere around here but the Lou Franklin books are still my favorite. I still page through them when bored or when I cant sleep. I have so many mod and tuneup books I should really sell or trade them off since I dont meess with the CB radios to much anymore Ive even got doubles of books and discs but the only info I really ever dig into anymore is my HF radios or Ham gear.
All in all Ide suggest the the CBC (Lou Franklin) books to anyone that has basic knowlege and understanding of radio and its components and using test equipment. Another book Ive used alot was the red I believe its called "The Radio Hackers Guide" Ide have to dig it out to see what exactly its called and who wrote it but its also kind of cool and has an awsome (tuneup chart) at the back and lists all the needed VR's in several of the more popular radios.
