Antenna tuners are devices often misunderstood in the Amateur Radio world. While not every station requires an antenna tuner to transmit radio signals, often an incompatibility between the transmitter and the antenna system results in poor performance. An antenna tuner between them is often the way to obtain efficient operation. The ARRL Guide to Antenna Tuners discusses the details of the different configurations and requirements of antenna tuners. It explores the design, construction and applications of the different types available. Learn what type of tuner is needed in your station and where to install it for maximum improvement. This book will give you a better understanding of your antenna system and the way it can be improved through the selection and use of the appropriate antenna tuner. Contents: Why Might I Need an Antenna Tuner? A Look at a Typical Configuration So Just What is an Antenna Tuner? Tuning an Antenna Tuner The Internal Tuner How Does it Help An External Tuner at the Radio Transmission Lines and Loss Moving the Tuner to the Back 40 Transmission Line Choices for Low Loss Balanced Versus Unbalanced Lines So What's a Balun, an Unun, a Choke? Balanced Antenna Tuners Antennas that Work Well with Tuners A Survey of Available Tuners Making Your Own Tuner

Fine Tune Antenna Performance! Antenna analyzers are arguably one of the most important pieces of equipment in an Amateur Radio station. Designed to measure impedance or standing wave ration (SWR), the properly used antenna analyzer determines the details of an antenna s tuning characteristics and helps maximize its performance. Even the simplest antennas can benefit from using one, and your success on the air may depend on it, but only if you understand and avoid the common pitfalls. Understanding Your Antenna Analyzer is an introduction to the various types of analyzers available, their component parts, how they operate and how to utilize them to get the best possible data. It discusses how to adjust your antenna, enhance your antenna analyzer and the ways certain analyzers can be used as general purpose test instruments in an Amateur Radio lab. Includes product review testing and an in depth look at representative antenna analyzers available today.

Getting the Most from your Handheld Transceiver Modern technology has allowed manufacturers to pack a wealth of features into handheld transceivers. With so many features, however, it isn t always easy to get the full benefit from your investment. Even the user manuals don t tell the whole story. Your radio may have hidden capabilities that aren t described in the manual at all. For example, did you know that a dual-band 2-meter/70 cm handheld transceiver can be used to communicate through Amateur Radio satellites? It s true, but you usually won t see this discussion in your average user manual. If you own a handheld transceiver, or if you re trying to decide which transceiver to buy, Radios to Go! is the essential guide.

Microcontroller technology has exploded in popularity among ham radio operators. The new generation of single-board microcontrollers is easier than ever to use, bringing together hardware and software for project-building most radio amateurs can easily dive into. With inexpensive microcontroller platforms-such as the popular open-source Arduino board-along with readily available parts, components and accessory boards, the possibilities are limitless: beacon transmitters, keyers, antenna position control, RTTY and digital mode decoders, waterfall displays, and more.
