This is THE guide to get to study for your technical ham lcens!
I bought one for myself, and then bought one for a family member. It includes the entire bunch of all exam questions and answers at the back of the book. Also includes resources to answer any questions and for more information.
Great book
Great book and passed first time.
Excellent book for getting your first license!
Packed with a lot of solid information, plus questions for the test and answers. Highly recommend.
Has some features
I really like, such as the heavy stock paper and the spiral binding. Am studying for my Ham Tech license and will have this as a reference for years the way it is constructed. I like that all of the possible test questions are interspersed throughout the book as well as all of the possible questions and answers (400) are in the appendix. Great for prep. The layout is a bit difficult at times as the questions and answers might not be in order. You occasionally have to thumb back a few pages or forward a few pages to find the answer. A bit more money than other Ham test prep books but the sturdiness, IMHO, makes up for the extra expense.
The book is thorough and not difficult.
I recommend it.
I passed!
Using this manual with ARRL & the QRZ was very helpful in passing the exam. My US Airforce training in Mobile Communications was also extremely helpful. The US Airforce First Mobile Communications squadron or as members refer to it as "The First Mob". I plan on taking the General exam in October. Using the ARRL General manual & QRZ to prepare.
One of the most well written, complete and concise manuals I.ve ever read !
I used this manual to study, understand and take practice tests for the FCC "Ham Radio" Technician license
Well done. Good reference.
This is a good manual and will be a good reference. Passed my technician test with a perfect score on the first try, however I am an electrical engineer so much of what is here is second nature. The book does quite well making basic electrical terms easy to understand. Some items are seemingly glossed over, however I’m sure they are covered in more depth in other books for the General and Extra licenses. There is enough here to pass the test, but this book won’t give a full understanding of some things.
