Arrl understanding basic electronics - 2nd edition

QRZ Forums. I want to understand the things I am reading rather than just memorizing the answers and question format. Can anyone point me to a good book in understanding some electronic theory OR a book that has a great way of explaining how radios actually work.

Yea i can read it in the book and look at a schematic they provide. But I want to really understand how things work. I understand the majority of things in the book but once they start talking about digital IC's or even the radio building blocks section.

I mean.. I get it but it gets way more complicated once we start talking about more complex subjects. Horwitz -- The Art Of Electronics?? AG6QR likes this.
