Greetings, I am a PC computer technician by trade (and hobbyist, i.e gamer + hardware) , and recently I decided to expand my horizons by diving into the RadioFrequency arena (mainly in video CATV Distribution) (I also have some limited knowledge in electronics at the component level)
I am training on the new job, about this whole RF scene, where major hotels offer inroom entertainment to guests. The job looks promising as this company seeks Field-Service-Reps to troubleshoot installations, involving modultators, RF mixbaskets, dB attenuation, amplification, Risers vs. Homeruns, Taps and Splitters Oh MY! all this is very new to me, and I find this field harder to grasp and understand than the computer field that I am already comfortable in.
My question to all of you is, what books / sites / newsgroups should I visit to get myself up to speed in this world of RF stuff? All feedback is highly appreciated
Sincerely, Robert (30, Canada)
