GROL+RADAR is the study manual for the new 2009 FCC Commercial Radio Operator / Maintainer License examinations that are mandatory for exams on and after 12/26/2009. GROL+RADAR covers Element 1, Marine Radio Operator Permit (MROP); Element 3, General Radio Telephone Operator License (GROL); and Element 8, Ship RADAR Endorsement. The book is fully illustrated and contains the exact questions and answer choices from the official FCC question pools. Author Gordon West provides an educational answer explanation for each question, telling the reader which answer is correct and discussing why it is correct.
