Take a guided tour through your shortwave receiver! Here (at last!) is a thoroughly readable book about how shortwave radios work and how you can get top performance out of yours - presented in plain English for the technically disinclined! Benson explains how radio transmission and reception work, discusses receiver tuning and displays, passband tuning, CW, single sideband, Fax and RTTY signals and shows you how to tune in each mode. He explains phase-locked loops, IF filters and notches, exalted carrier single sideband, panoramic adapters, preselectors, antenna tuners and more. There's also a glossary of receiver terms and answers to the most commonly asked questions about receivers. Inside Your Shortwave Radio goes beyond those often confusing and poorly written instruction manuals and fills in what they leave unclear - or don't explain at all!
