The BEST
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
The ARRL license manual series has helped me pass every test from novice to extra.
Most of the ARRL series books are the ONLY source for correct information on a subject.

Great Manuals
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|

I purchased the tech manual at a Ham Fest in Cobb County, GA in May. On August 5th, 2007 I passed the tech. The same week I went to HRO and purchased the General. Today 10/07/07 I passed the General. My next plan is to purchase the Extra. when using these manuals and to study and take practice exams on QRZ.com the test becomes a breeze. I've been very pleased with all ARRL manuals

THE BEST!!!!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I have used other books to study, but they all fall short compared to the ARRL study guides.
The thing I like is that the books give you detailed information as to the the theory behind the correct answer, not just the answer and 2 or 3 sentences about the answer.
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THE ARRL BOOKS IF YOUR STUDYING FOR A TEST!!!

On Feb. 2,2007 I was an unlicensed wannabe ham operator. On March 16 2007, after passing the Tech on Feb. 3, I became a General. I used the ARRL book for the General test along with the Ham Academy interactive practice tests, which refer each question to a page in the manual. People all around me were failing the test while I finished it in minutes and passed rather easily. The combination of the manuals and the Ham Academy online is almost failproof. I can't say enough good about both.

Simply the best

I needed to get from technician to extra class license in less than a month. When combined with HamTestOnline these made it happen.
The books have a rare combination of clarity, brevity and thoroughness. ARRL is to be congratulated.

Now I'm Talking!
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|

For years and years, I had been meaning to get involved with ham radio. I was too busy making a living to stop and get into ham radio. When hurricane Katrina happened, I read inspiring stories about hams helping out with emergency communications. I decided then and there to get my ticket. I logged on to ARRL and ordered the Now You're Talking technician license manual. I studied the manual during lunch time at work and before going to bed at home over a period of a few weeks. I found the manual very well written and informative. I especially needed the sections on operations and regulations because I had no previous experience with ham radio. Because I am an electrical engineer by profession and I used CB radios a lot in the past, I knew the electrical theory and I didn't have to work too hard on those parts. The book is designed to give the beginner ham all the knowledge needed to get on the air and it does what it said it would do. I passed the exam on my first attempt with a score of 34/35. My exam time was about six minutes. I highly recommend this manual to anyone wanting to get started in ham radio. The chapters are thorough and the material is designed to explain the subject matter, not just give you the answers to test questions. There are other study guides available, but I don't see how they could be better than the ARRL manual. After reading this book and taking the exam, I wished I had done this 20 years ago. To aspiring hams I say: get this book now and stop procrastinating. Now, I'm on a roll. I just ordered the General Class study guide and I'm learning CW with Ham University.

Perfection!

I read this study guide in 3 days. Easy to understand and fast reading. I like how this book teaches you the electronic theory instead of you just memorizing the answers. After using this book, using a faq book, along with online tests on eham.net I got a perfect score on my test. I would strongly recommend this book.

Excellent Study Guide
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
The Now You're talking study guide is excellent! It really helps you remember what your reading, and understand it (most of the time). Although some of the chapters were way to technical and did not explain some topics more through. They do refer you to other ARRL books though if you are having difficulty reading a certain chapter.
Overall I give it a 4 - Excellent study guide with a few parts not understandable (by me anyways) I passed my test today with a 80%. I would get 95% and above on QRZ and eHam practice test.
Good job ARRL!

Best overall

I looked at several choices for upgrading to extra class. The ARRL study guide is big, but that is because it gives a lot of examples and teaches the theory along with how to take the test, not just memorizing the questions like other books. I learned the theory, enjoyed reading most of the book. Some parts were way too technical but provided a good reference. I got a 98 on the test. Best overall study guide I could find.
