The Basics and Beyond, Dec 10 2010
By Dennis P. Finegan "Dennis P Finegan" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications: The Comprehensive RF Engineering Reference [With CDROM] (Paperback)
Buying the Handbook through Amazon is a no-brainer. It is priced way below the ARRL's price and free shipping is included. The Handbook contains all the electrical engineering basics and then takes on specific topics in detail such as analog and digital modes, antennas, propagation, and building your own equipment. As a real bonus, it comes with a CD that not only contains programs and extra files, but also the entire text. I load this on my Netbook PC and can carry the text around wherever I want - and it is fully searchable. This last point alone makes loading it worthwhile. I own the last 6 years of the Handbook, 2 from Amazon and the prior years off of eBay and will continue to purchase for years to come. If you love reading and participating in this great hobby, then by all means order today. It is money well worth it. I wish it was offered in a CD only version, not only to save money but also to go green. These are not small books and take up quite a bit of room on the shelf.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications: The Comprehensive RF Engineering Reference [With CDROM] (Paperback)
This classic reference packs a lot of information into a single volume, covering the gambit of amateur radio topics:o Fundamental Theory (basics, analog, digital)
o RF Techniques
o Computer Aided Design
o Power Supplies
o Modulation
o Oscillators and Synthesizers
o Mixers, Modulation and Demodulators
o RF and AF Filters
o Receivers
o Transmitters
o Transceivers
o DSP and Software Radio
o Digital Modes
o RF Power Amplifiers
o Repeaters
o Propagation of Radio Signals
o Transmission Lines
o Antennas
o Component Data and Reference
o Construction Techniques
o Station Accessories
o Test Equipment and Measurement
o Troubleshooting and Maintenance
o RF Interference
o Safety
o Assembling a Station
o Space Communications
o Digital Communications
o Image Communications
Best of all, this edition comes with a CD ROM that includes the entire text, searchable on your PC. If you are just getting started in amateur radio, this volume is the closest thing to a 'one stop' shop for answers to your questions. For the experienced amateur there is still a wealth of information. Several of the chapters include projects to delight and motivate the homebrew aficionado. A fabulous reference source for many years and hopefully for many years to come.

Fantastic resource!, May 5 2011

This review is from: The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications: The Comprehensive RF Engineering Reference [With CDROM] (Paperback)
The ARRL Handbook is a great resource. This book is well written, often updated, and very well produced. The ARRL Handbook is worth your money, and your time.Loads of 'basic electronics' information - I'm not repeating the index here - and then you're off in to the vast world of amateur radio. The ARRL Handbook is perhaps the single most useful book for anyone interested in amateur radio; not only is there a great deal of 'theory,' there is a great amount of practical detail. Construction details, real-world circuit difficulties, antennas by the dozens, just about anything you can think of is addressed in the ARRL Handbook.
The drawings and photos are pretty much first rate and importantly they are on the same page as the text that refers to them.
Included is a CD, fully downloadable and searchable, but not as much fun to handle as the book.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely.
Is the review as good as the book? Absolutely not!
Listmania!
