This book is great. It really reinforces the material and allowed me to move from Technician to General in only 3 weeks. I'll be buying the Amateur Extra book next!
This review addresses the Technician book as well. It would be nice to have a traditionally bound book instead of spiral bound. But that is a matter of taste. But the real problem with the books are the way it is packed. The book comes in the usual amazon packaging, which is fine. Inside, the book is wrapped in saran wrap. The problem is that there is some dust from the printing machine or something and constantly falls out of the books. I think they should be shaken out before they are wrapped. Otherwise, everything else is great!
Addition to my Amateur Radio Library
What can I say, all the info needed to help you pass the General. Have used both the Technician and General next will be Extra for me.
This ARRL book series is pretty much the standard reference for everything that's covered in each level of the FCC licensing process. You'll learn all the key terms, concepts, diagrams, etc. that you need both to actually understand the information and to pass the test! Even after you pass the test these books are a great reference to keep around as you explore deeper into the world of radio!
Clear explanations and all the questions are printed out with the correct answers. More detailed explanations are offered to expand understanding.
I used the ARRL manual when I prepared for my technicians license. Of the books I purchased this was the best. It includes detailed information about each question, a complete of questions that are currently is use by the FCC. I am now studying for my general license and purchased this book. Again, the best prep book I have found. Besides this book, I would recommend that you join ARRL to gain access to online practice tests and reviews by chapter.
It’s not one of those leather-bound “Easton Press” editions you might see stacked behind your local ambulance-chaser, but the text and figures are accurate and easy to understand.
