Maybe others know better? The book is an intro, though very detailed!, and doesn't cover much in the way of RF to my recollection. It would be a foundation that makes RF design easy to follow, though. Others might have better recommendations for ham-specific books. But if you leaf through something like ARRL's "Introduction to Radio Frequency Design," you'll probably get more from it after a book like Art of Elec. 73, Mike ab3ap On 04/08/2018 11:28 AM, Robie Elms wrote: > Which edition is the most useful for hams? > > Robie AJ4F > >> On Apr 8, 2018, at 10:14, Mike Markowski <mike.ab...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> Chuck and all, >> >> It really is a great book, the best I've found on the topic for my >> style of learning.
