The ARRL General Class License Manual for Radio Operators (Arrl General Class License Manual for the Radio Amateur) (Arrl General Class License Manual for the Radio Amateur)

After passing my Technician class exam 11 years ago, I decided to go for my General class ticket. I bought this book 2 weeks ago and passed my exam today by missing only one question! This book was VERY helpful along with online practice exams. I recommend this book and just ordered the Extra class book for my next ticket.

This is the ARRL's official book for the General class license test. It contains the latest test questions and everything is explained very well.

As always the ARRL has created another good study manual. From start to finish, this bood is a great tool for those getting into the world of HF HAM radio.

I am just another voice adding my opinion to an already well reviewed book. I bought this book and ran through it pretty quickly to prepare for the general exam. It is laid out fairly well (not by question set though) and the pool in the back is great. The book boasts detailed question explanations which it does, just not right next to the question. Each question references the page number in the book which has the information relating to the question. So, it references where you can find the answer but does not explain each individual question separately. However, there is another book put out by the arrl I think that does that, the Q&A general book. I like this book because I want to learn how to be a better operator and not just how to pass a written multiple choice exam. Anyways, great book and amazon has had it on sale for some time now, so pick it up and upgrade, you will be glad you did. With a little work, you could upgrade in a few weeks tops.

I used the ARRL book for my General - as the only study source, as I wanted to actually know the material, not just memorize answers. I nailed the exam, with 1 wrong. That's not to suggest that that's the only way to pass the exam, but it is a comment on the quality of the material. It is well laid-out, taking the reader through a nice progression of topics and a nice progression from basic to more difficult concepts. I also find that the manual is nice to keep on hand as a reference.
