The ARRL Handbook is excellent as always but the book as
Sold by Amazon does not include the free CD.

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.

Good reference book. It lacks the construction projects that were found in the older Radio Amateur's Handbooks of years past, but it's still a good book to have.
The CD is a good feature.

Like all ARRL handbooks this one is great. I have many of these books and I love them all.
