keep it and keep on listening to it when nobody else is
looking!

LEARNING MORE
The purpose of your Receiver and the details provided in this
instruction manual are to help you become better acquainted
with radio communications and electronics: as a hobby, as a
possible profession, or both.

Among the hundreds of publications available, we are pleased
to recommend the following as especially helpful for radio
newcomers and people of any age who are young at heart!

Getting Started in Electronics

by Forest Mims III (Radio Shack)

Now You're Talking: Discovering the World of Ham Radio

(ARRL, Newington, CT 06111, also sold by Radio Shack)

Plus these MFJ publications:

Shortwave Listener's Guide for Apartment/Condo Dwellers

by Ed Noll, W3FQJ (1991, MFJ Edition No. 36)

The Wonderful World of Ham Radio,

by Richard Skolnik, KB4LCS (1990, MFJ Edition No. 35)

Or, if you'd like just one copy of one magazine that's all
about ALL the signals you may hear on your MFJ-8100, you can
find the latest issue of POPULAR COMMUNICATIONS at any
serious magazine stand. It's a fascinating publication.

Happy listening!
