kontiki,
you never mentioned your quals to work on an aircraft as far as the FAA
is concerned. The very least an Airframe rating would be required or you
will need to have someone with the Rating sign off your work. Otherwise
the aircraft is not legal for Instrument flight.
The appropriate manual and test equipment would be required as well. You
already mentioned you had the equipment.

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
