In trying to fix a radio, some local hams suggested I get a scope. I told them I don't have one, so another local ham gave me this. Only one channel works but he said it might be helpful. Now I have to learn how to use a scope.1yr ⋅ SonicResidue ⋅ r/amateurradio

I was told you guys would appreciate this. My dad died a few years ago.
