Thanks Glen, I have a multimeter, I may have an older signal generator if it works (Motorola T-1034-C), also an audio generator (Also conditional if it works), but I do not have an Oscilloscope...do you have a recommendation as to what would be a good one, yet within a reasonable price. Maybe something that would not be a problem to sell later for near the same price and move up to a better one then?
I will get the Radio Amateur Handbook.
