FET PRINCIPLES, EXPERIMENTS,
AND
PROJECTS
by Edward M. Noll
This book covers
the principles of
operation
of the
field
-effect transistor in the first chap-
ter, which
serves
as
a building block for sub-
sequent chapters that review the various
applications
of the
FET. The
first chapter
also
introduces
the basic terminology and
symbology
that is unique to the FET and
discusses parameters
and specifications. Not
only does this book provide
a
variety
of use-
ful
experimenter
projects
(with
schematic
diagrams),
it also provides the mathematical
breakdowns required
to compute
component
values to
be used in the
circuits. The result
is a
text that is eminently
suited to a
serious
study of
FET
technology.

104 HAM RADIO PROJECTS
FOR NOVICES &
TECHNICIANS
by Bert
Simon,
W2UUN
This
book
shows
how
hams can get more
fun
out of
their hobby, while
at the same time
adding to their knowledge of
electronics.
As its
title proclaims,
the
book
is written
around
104
useful ham projects,
with the
emphasis on
transmitting and receiving gear.
But accessory
equipment, such as mike
boosters, mike
preamps, CPO's,
one-
transis-
tor GDO,
phone patch,
etc.,
have not
been
overlooked. Each
of the projects presented is
accompanied
by
a schematic diagram, parts
list,
and construction
tips. Careful consider-
ation has
been given to the cost factors; in
fact, most of the
projects
can be
built for
less than $20. And a few
are
no
-cost projects,
built from old TV
parts.
The range of
proj-
ects covers
virtually
every
ham
band.

PROPO
PRIMER
Proportional Control for All
by
Howard
G.
McEntee
The purpose of
this
book
is to provide the
powered
model
airplane, boat,
and car en-
thusiast with a primer on the
sophisticated
proportional method
of
remote control.
The
book
starts out
by
explaining what propor-
tional control is and
proceeds to describe the
various proportional
systems, including sim-
pler
ones for independent
rudder and
eleva-
tor control. This is followed by
discussions of
dual, triple, and
"full
house"
multipropor-
tional systems. Descriptions
of
transmitters,
receivers,
servos, and accessories
and auxili-
aries are included.
Finally,
a full chapter is
devoted to the testing, maintenance,
and
troubleshooting
of proportional
radio control
systems.
As
a result,
this book is
an invalu-
able aid to both
the
veteran
and
rank-
begin-
ner
modeler.

ON
THE
COLOR TV
SERVICE BENCH
by Jay F.
Shone
This troubleshooting guide,
written
in down -
to -earth language,
describes the
causes of
and cures for
almost any color TV
receiver
trouble
you're
likely
to
encounter. It de-
scribes how
to tackle specific problems
in a
logical, orderly
manner using
common -sense
service
bench
approaches.
The book
starts
with a discussion
of the techniques
to
use for
unscrambling
tough "brightness"
problems.
Then
every type of circuit
employed in
color
TV receivers
is covered. Finally,
the book
finishes
with alignment,
troubleshooting, and
maintenance instructions.
