I don't think so.. I'm an electrical engineer and can explain the physics
of why and how a VOR actually works in minute detail. The calibration adjustment
is not rocket science and does not require the magical powers of an aviionics
tech. I just wanted to find out which screw was the VOR adjustment and which
was the Localizer adjustment on the KI-209.

You all make similar calibration adjustments to your altimiter via the Kolllsman
setting beroe and during every flight. Tweaks to the VOR calibration are
required from time to time especially if you have replaced a NAV antenna as I have.

I called a friend who owns an avionics shop and he told me which screw
was the VOR adjustment and I've zerio's it now with a test set another
friend had.

Thanks
