Outstanding overview for the novice or those even curious about radio This book gives a very thorough overview of the world of radio. It discusses in detail the various radio systems in use and how to determine what radio fits your needs. There is a great deal of information on selecting radios for business use, as well as the expected discussion of Ham radio and the use of radios by government agencies and emergency services. The book can be a bit technical in some sections, but from cover to cover it provides a great overview for some interested in…
Excellent introduction to the subject This book deserves five stars and would have received five stars if more frequency lists (ranges) had been included for the various radio services. Also, more equipment photos should have been included, in my opinion, so that those new to the subject would have an opportunity to see just what the gear looks like.
The basics only…………… If you wonder what happened to CB Radios, what a HAM radio is or what a short-wave radio is, this is the book. Which works best in emergencies, or outdoors communications between groups like hunters. Licensing requirements and etiquette while using. Do people still call Breaker, Breaker?
