ARRL's VHF Digital Handbook
-- by Steve Ford, WB8IMY
Today's Amateur Radio operators are using digital radio applications for fun, technical achievement, and public service. And it’s no wonder. Getting started often requires little more than a VHF radio and a computer.
Without complicated “owners manual” jargon—ARRL’s VHF Digital Handbook presents the material through a unique how-to approach and friendly, conversational style. Readers will understand how to setup and operate their equipment and software, and make the best use of their VHF digital station.
Contents:
- Packet Radio Fundamentals: All the basics including TNCs, operating commands, and networks (such as DX Packetcluster).
- APRS – The Automatic Position Reporting System: Track moving objects on maps (other stations, public service vehicles, marathon runners, etc.). Connect your own GPS receiver and transmit your location even as you’re moving!
- D-STAR: Enjoy high-speed digital voice and data on the growing network of D-STAR repeaters.
- High Speed Multimedia: Discover how you can set up your own wireless Amateur Radio data network by modifying over-the-counter gear such as routers and access points. It’s ham WiFi consumers can only dream about!
- Digital Meteor Scatter and Moonbounce: Explore weak signal operating using the software masterpiece WSJT by Joe Taylor, K1JT.
- Technical Descriptions: In-depth information about AX.25, D-STAR and APCO-25 protocols.
- Plus, digital applications in public service and emergency communications: Packet radio, APRS, Winlink 2000 and more!

ARRL's VHF/UHF Antenna Classics
-- Build your own portable, mobile and fixed antenna designs--
ARRL's VHF/UHF Antenna Classics includes antenna project articles gathered from the 1983 to 2003 issues of QST. Designs include ground planes, J-poles, mobile antennas, Yagis and more. Authors include well-known antenna designers such as L. B. Cebik, W4RNL, Dick Stroud, W9SR and Steve Powlishen, K1FO.
VHF and UHF antennas are among the smallest and often easiest antennas to build. Many of the projects included in this book require inexpensive parts which you can find at most hardware stores. Build a better antenna for your hand-held radio. Construct a 2-meter Yagi that will rival similar commercial antennas. Build a dual-band vertical for 146 and 445-MHz. The results will be rewarding!
