Not recommended if you are new to ham.,
By Jody (Olean, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Technician Class Element 2 FCC License Preparation (Paperback)
This book is just a copy of the question pool with a very brief description of the answers. If your goal is to learn about, and understand amateur radio then your money is probably better spent on "Now You're Talking!" if you just want to memorize the question pools instead you can do that online for free with practice tests.
If you are new you should really consider NYT instead so you not just pass the test, but understand the basic technology and rules behind amateur radio.
