My wife gives me a new handbook every Christmas.
I suggest you take a look at the chapter on frequency modulation just,
as an example.
If you wish to discuss these issues email me directly.
Also, being an engineering reference book now, I can't understand why
I am paying for one every year. I don't do the same with any of my
other engineering references. But, it has been a sort of tradition for me
to try to collect every handbook.

Perhaps you (and others) should read recent editions of the Handbook
before criticizing it. I have, and I've also contributed stuff. I know
both the prior editor, N6BV) (now retired) and the current one, Ward
Silver, N0AX. Both are very sharp guys, and know their stuff cold. Ward
consistently writes excellent stuff for QST -- indeed, it's almost the
only thing in QST that doesn't make me cringe.
Ward took over the Handbook about 4 years ago, and has been working hard
at improving it. The latest version of the Antenna Book is is first, and
he's hard at work on that too.
