Why am I wasteing my time brushing up on radio & electronic theory and
studying schematics when, apparantly, all I need is better cw skills to
enable me to fix my radios.


You need both to be a well balance operator. If you're willing and
motivated enough to be able to learn and communicate with CW, you're also
more likely to be motivated to advance yourself technically in other areas
of radio as well. You won't be one of those unmotivated no-code appliance
operators you hear on repeaters who spend their days kerchunking all the
machines in the area.

SC

You are SOOOOO Full of yourself SC!

You bet! Its a good thing to know Code, and darn right you are to
be proud of Learning How to Code. . . But hey, wait a minute. . ..
What the heck makes you now believe that just because YOU wanted it,
and went out and learned how, that now EVERYBODY HAS TO LEARN IT TOO!?

Isn't that just a tiny bit selfish? Something akin to what the
Nazis' tried to impose on the world?

"My ****'s Really Kewl, so YOU have to buy into it as much as I did.
.. . In fact, seeing how I have this-here baseball bat, I suggest you
had Better start feeling the same way I do or I'll just have to take a
moment or two and adjust your way of thinking!. . . Buddy!"

Again, SC, We all agree that Code is a good thing. Your approach
towards it isn't. Nor is your insistence that everybody has to learn
it or they not be allowed to use the radio. In fact, that's quite the
anti-social behavior you've got going on there, SC. `Nothing to be
proud of, . . . Good Buddy! Next, You'll probably try and say that
just because I'm not as white as you, I'm not aloud to use the radio
ether? Huh?

No difference, SC. No difference at all.

Hey SC, do you have a masters degree in vehicle engineering? No??
Well then, you are not allowed to drive your car anymore, ether! We
got to keep the "Trash" off the road or it will become like a go-cart
track. And we all KNOW what go-cart tracks are like, don't you?!
