New To Ham Radio?
If you are new to ham radio with a background in other types of radio
communications, you should read the supplement "Ham Ways - A Primer"
available at www.arrl.org/newham/HamWaysPrimer.pdf. It will explain
some of the ways hams communicate that may be unfamiliar. This will
help you understand more about ham radio features and why they are
important to hams.
Are you Ready?
Finally, savor the experience; you'll never buy another "first" radio,
so have fun! If things don't turn out exactly as you expect, you can
easily sell or trade for different equipment.
Most hams try many radios and you probably will, too. So relax and
prepare to enjoy the ride! Once you're finished, others can use this
publication, too. Give it away or tell them about this guide's Web site
where they can download and print their own copy!
