Practical Circuits

ARRL Radio Designer 1.5 lets you create computerized models of 
audio, radio and electronic circuits so you can see how they 
work_and make them work better_without actually building them.  
Here's just some of what you can do with ARRL Radio Designer: 
model passive and small-signal linear circuits from 
audio to RF; predict and analyze performance of linear, small-
signal active and passive dc, audio and RF circuitry (including 
amplifiers, filters, matching networks and power splitters and 
combiners); optimize circuit performance to meet goals you 
specify; display the signal level at any point in a simulated 
circuit; simulate component value variations due to temperature 
and tolerances with Monte Carlo statistical analysis; simulate 
circuit response to a steady-state time-domain signal using 
impulse, step, pulsed carrier or user-defined stimuli, and much 
more.
	ARRL Radio Designer reports S, Y, Z, group delay and voltage 
probe parameters for n-port networks; chain (ABCD), hybrid (H), 
inverse hybrid (G), gain, voltage gain, and stability parameters 
for two-port networks, and more.  Reports can be rectangular or 
polar graphs, or tables, displayed onscreen or printed on any 
Windows compatible printer in the colors, fonts and line weights 
you specify. Circuit entry is via a text-based circuit editor.
	ARRL Radio Designer comes on two 3.5-inch floppy disks 
(example circuits and reports included), and includes an 
instruction manual containing how-to-use-it, tutorial and 
reference information.  Requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher, 
8 megabytes of RAM, and a hard disk with at least 5

as a hospital Christmas party for children turns into a nightmare 
of terror for Kim Stafford, KA7SJP, and ham radio is her only 
hope. In Firewatch!,  Kim and Marc are faced with fires 
everywhere in Oregon's tinder-dry Cascade Mountains. In their

QST -- ARRL'S Monthly Membership Journal

Simply put, QST is the best source of news and practical 
information from the world of Amateur Radio. Hams and others 
interested in Amateur Radio from North America and around the 
world find it indispensable. QST comes with your ARRL membership. 
Here's some of what you'll find in each issue:

Technical Articles provide fascinating theory and practical 
designs that will expand your Amateur Radio horizons.

Product Reviews present comprehensive yet readable reports on the 
latest transceivers and accessories; only QST product reviews are 
based on careful and comprehensive testing done in the ARRL Lab 
and painstaking field testing.

Hints & Kinks are clever and useful tips sent in by QST readers 
who have found a better way to accomplish a task or solve a 
problem. You never know what you'll find each month, but you can 
be sure you'll find something practical and imaginative.

DXing/Contesting, two of the most popular on-the-air activities, 
are covered in detail in each issue. The How's DX? column 
provides profiles of well-known DXers and hints on getting more 
out of your 
station. ARRL-sponsored contests are fun ways of seeing how your 
station stacks up against others.

Feature articles cover all the fascinating aspects of ham radio, 
from a colorful DXpedition to a rare atoll, to a personal story 
of how a ham introduced her family to the wonders of her favorite 
hobby.

Ham Ads and display ads are the best way to find a piece of 
Amateur Radio gear, new or used, top shelf or barebones. Whether 
it's a new 20-meter beam or a computer program that teaches the 
Morse code, you'll find it advertised in QST.

Useful and Timely News, from the FCC, or the international scene, 
is included in articles and columns like League Lines and 
Happenings. If it's happening, you'll learn about it by reading 
QST.

Single issue price is $5. Contact ARRL for complete membership 
information.
