I am an extra class ham radio operator and teach introduction to ham radio classes. I have found this book to be the best on the market for both in class use and individule study. It covers all the bases and explains everything in simple, easy to understand terms. It also contains all of the possible test questions so that you can practice taking the exam on your own. If you want to become a HAM then this is THE BOOK for you! 73

Fm 101X: Using FM Repeaters: Ac6V's Guide To Vhf/Uhf Fm Repeaters And Your First Vhf/Uhf Radio Review

This is an excellent reference to the world of VHF amateur radio operation. I recently got a technician license and a handheld radio for the two-meter band. After reading through this book in about a week, I feel like I have knowledge that would have taken me 6-12 months to learn on my own. This book helped me successfully operate on simplex and repeaters.
My criticism of this book is about its poor copy editing. I didn't spot any spelling errors or ambiguous phrases, but there are lots of run-on sentences. Some information is repeated two or three times, although the book's introduction suggests that this is necessary to allow the book to be a handy reference rather than just a book to read cover-to-cover.
Please note that this book describes radio operations that require a license for the amateur radio service from the FCC.
Overall, the information provided in this book is accurate, helpful, and practical. Newcomers to amateur radio that want to operate with a two-way FM radio will be able to get a fast start by reading this book.

The Arrl Operating Manual (A R R L Operating Manual, 7th ed) Review

This book provides a lot of information. If you are new to the hobby this is great book to have in the shack. If you have been into ham radio for more than a year most of this information will be old, you should already have this information in other books. The chapters on emergency communications and traffic handling are pretty much a waste, if a major disaster happened the last thing I would be thinking about is radio. It seems like a good portion of the book is the standard league propoganda on how they what activities to occur on the air. After careful consideration this book is not worth $25
