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. Helpful topics include
Why Are They Called HTs? (And Which One Should I Buy?)
The Care and Feeding of Batteries
Memories
Scanning
Alphabet Soup CTCSS, DTMF and DCS
IRLP and EchoLink
Antennas
Microphones and Headsets
Software Management
Expanding Your Horizons APRS and Satellites

Radios to Go! ARRL Inc eBook
A thin book with material that could be helpful to the new ham. Easy to read, but not very deep.TOC: What are HTs?, Batteries, Memories, Scanning, CTCSS/DTMF/DCS, IRLP/Echolink, Antennas, Microphones/Headsets, Software Management, APRS/Satelites, and Bandplans.
Cons: Coverage is restricted to the sorts of premium products you see advertised in ARRL pubs. Nothing about the wildly popular cheap Chinese radios like the Baofeng. Nothing about the free programming software CHIRP.
Suggestion: Buy the book if you feel it might help. Use Internet search engines and youtube.com for tutorials -- there is lots of information out there. If you are considering buying an inexpensive HT, learn about counterfeit antennas and the problem of cheap programming cables. Alternatively buy from Amazon vendor BaoFeng Tech, rather than some of the other BaoFeng sellers. You pay a few bucks more, but you get quality, genuine goods that will eliminate lots of headaches.
Website www.miklor.com is an absolutely invaluable resource for understanding and programming your inexpensive Chinese HT.

Radios to Go! ARRL Inc eBook Reviews
Good beginner book lots of tips and education on what is possible....more than you thought .
If you are a new ham, buy this book. It is clear, concise, and it points you in the right direction.
Great book for new and old hams who uses HT's
Nice read.
Good start
This book was something of a disappointment. While what was present was very good, it was more simplistic than I had expected. It was also surprisingly short. It has clear values and I do recommend it, but its shortcomings must be kept in mind. Fortunately, the price is not so high as to recommend against it.
I am just starting in amateur radio, and for me, this was a great introduction to handheld radios. There was a lot of information that I wished that I had known earlier.
