what you said, all you said is true. Otoh, basics are still basics - a
triode amp is still a triode amp whether a tube or a transistor. A tuned
circuit is still a tuned circuit. A center-fed dipole is still...
ditto. Same for rectifier circuits, parallel and series resistors and
capacitors (omg, does anyone still use discrete components <g>?).

It's easier to write a handbook when half the stuff hasn't been discovered yet. Now that everything is simplified for you - have you tried to get the rigs and parts that are simplified for your understanding?</div>

<div style="direction:ltr;">Picked up a copy of The Radio Handbook, 1938 edition, for a couple of bucks several weeks ago. I started reading it today and realized it beats the ARRL handbooks by a long mile. Easy to read, concepts well-explained. $1.50 in 1938
would be $31.95 today. </div>
