Outstanding Prep for FCC General Radio License Exam ! ! !,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GROL+RADAR book & software (Perfect Paperback)
***** 5 Stars with no reservations, for this OUTSTANDING FCC Exam Prep-Study Guide for the General Radio Operator License Exam. It includes ALL the Question Pools for Elements 1,3 & 8. (Basic & intermediate level Electronics; Radar Repair & Required knowledge of the FCC Maritime & Aviation Radio regulations) The book not only supplies the answers to every question, it goes a step further and explains the reason for why the answer given is the correct one. Sometimes, these explanations are just a paragraph, other times they can be quite extensive and detailed. The Book also supplies a lot of useful supplementary information for those who are interested in a career as a Marine or Aviation Technician. Included in the package are two CD-ROMS. One CD covers the relevant CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) as they pertain to Radio Repair & Operation in the Marine & Aviation Fields. The second CD-Rom contains FCC GROL practice exams, with special features, such as the software can tell what areas you are weak in and therefore need more study time on. Overall, I have to say that Gordon West & the W5YI Group really produced a great product here, and it was well worth the price, of $79.95. (HINT): You generally "Get what you pay for". Peace ;-)

GROL + RADAR & Software,
By Roger L. "BSEET" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GROL+RADAR book & software (Perfect Paperback)
I just finished taking Elements 1, 3, and 8 of the FCC EXAM and passing them. I used this book and the accompanying software to study for the exam. This book won't teach you the theory behind the questions. You still need to know electronics and radio theory. But the book and software are good practical guides. A brief explanation of the correct answer for each and every test question possible is included in the text which helps speed studying because you don't have to consult numerous tomes of electronics texts to refresh your memory on little used calculations, formulas etc. The accompanying software and practice exam program makes studying an interactive process and aids study by showing weak areas where more study is needed.
This book has all the information needed take the exams and file applications for a commercial license. 1 Q & A's of all the newest questions in the Element 1, 3, and 8 FCC test banks 2. Practice exam software you can use to drill yourself for the exam 3. A CD containing applicable US Laws and FCC forms. A final word of caution: This book should be used exactly for what it is intended. It is not an electronics theory book. It is intended specifically for preparing to take the FCC Commercial License exams element 1, 3, and 8.

Excellent Study Guide for the GROL and RADAR Endorsement,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GROL+RADAR book & software (Perfect Paperback)
I acquired my GROL 17 years ago and I just wanted to add the RADAR endorsement. This book was excellent in explaining the theory and questions on the FCC element 8 exam. I used the software to study for the exam and review the material. I passed the RADAR endorsement the first time. I recommend this book highly to anyone who has experience and needs to pass the GROL w/RADAR.
