The ARRL HANDBOOK is an essential addition to every Ham's library. The book is continually updated, but is almost as useful as a few-year-old second hand book. A super CD with everything in the book plus other goodies is included in the later versions.

My last ARRL HANDBOOK was a 1952 edition! Wow what a change in the world of radio since then. No more scrounging for WWII surplus radios, etc. The latest techniques in use by Hams is found here, as are numerous U-build-it examples.

This book is essential reading for every radio enthusiast from Novice to Expert, Technician to Designer.

I've had this book for two years now and find it to be indispendable. I regularly use it as a reference due to the well organized format. As a matter of fact I use this as my first reference on almost any RF design subject. It's just easy to find information in it. The accompanying CD is a great bonus with some very useful software for filter design. If you're going to buy an RF design reference this is a good one, but I'd recommend the newest version for all the latest technology. Very good, highly recommended.
