Book Description

October 15, 2009
GROL+RADAR is the study manual for the new 2009 FCC Commercial Radio Operator / Maintainer License examinations that are mandatory for exams on and after 12/26/2009. GROL+RADAR covers Element 1, Marine Radio Operator Permit (MROP); Element 3, General Radio Telephone Operator License (GROL); and Element 8, Ship RADAR Endorsement. The book is fully illustrated and contains the exact questions and answer choices from the official FCC question pools. Author Gordon West provides an educational answer explanation for each question, telling the reader which answer is correct and discussing why it is correct. The book also includes a searchable CD-ROM containing the entire FCC Telecommunications Rules for Parts 2, 13, 23, 73, 80 and 87. GROL+RADAR also is available with study software that allows the student to take practice examinations on their PC. A new feature of the software includes the answer explanations from the book. If the student answers the question wrong on the software, the correct answer appears along with the Gordon West explanation to reinforce learning. See ISBN 9780945053613 for the book and software package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good study guide, January 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GROL+Radar (Perfect Paperback)
Very good study guide. Gives in depth answers, also, where possible, background information. Examples and photographs are also very helpful to people who do not have prior/practical experience with marine communications/navigation procedures and electronics.

5.0 out of 5 stars GROL License Manual, July 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GROL+Radar (Perfect Paperback)
Excellent study manual for radio techs seeking their G.R.O.L. (FCC General Radio Operators License) FCC license. The usual high quality publication from Gordon West. Include all the questions in the FCC question pool to study for exam. The book does not teach theory but reviews some basic materials as necessary to clarify and aide in study for the exam. Well published in a new larger format.
