PBRStreetGang Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I've just gotten into GMRS and I'd like to learn more about radio. Most of the stuff I find on the net tends to be published by people who know far more than I do, so much what I'd like to learn is routine to them. Can anyone recommend a good book on the topic of radio? I guess it'd almost be a text book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweiss3 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 What are you looking to learn? The ARRL has a ton for great books on radio. If you want some general overviews, start with the Technician Guide. It covers enough to pass your HAM technician test as well as provides a great overview on the entirety of radio, leaning towards how it it applies to amateur radio, but the principles apply to GMRS as well. If that bites your interest, you can graduate up to the General and Amateur Extra books which get into more theory and application. If you want to learn about a specific topic, there are ARRL books on those as well, such as antennas, power supplies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Go here: http://www.arrl.org/shop/What-s-New ...and type "Books" into the 'Search Store' box, next to 'shopping cart'. You will find a ton of good stuff there to buy and read. Also note that many ham radio clubs provide these ARRL books to local public libraries, and you can check them out at no cost.
