[TenTec] THANK YOU AND APOLOGY

[K8JHR]

Nice post, JB.

As Rick mentioned, I read the ANTENNA BOOK cover to cover, and I read 
the ARRL Handbook on Radio Communications cover to cover, doing that 
with the The ARRL Handbook a slice a day.  It is slow going.

Unfortunately, the HANDBOOKs are woefully inadequate on any of this.

Section 13.3 dashes through modulation, and only briefly mentions the 
graphs we see in product reviews, without really telling me what it is 
all about,  and Section 13.6  has JUST TWO PAGES regarding transmitter 
testing, and says little more than a quick reference to anything beyond 
IMD testing.

I wonder if the ARRL book:  Basic Radio  would be a better source?

I suspect the ARRL Book: Transceiver Performance Testing   will not 
work, either, cause Rick says they don't test for what we are talking 
about here.

It ain't easy for a rookie to catch up.

Happy days.
