Re: BATC ATV Handbooks
They are very old and I hate to see them lost forever as I worked very hard to produce them
Most of them have been scanned and can be downloaded from https://www.cq-datv.mobi/ebooks.php I hope that helps

Re: BATC ATV Handbooks
Thanks Trevor
I agree - I still refer to them (and still have the Test Card generator in use).
I think that we have them all here: https://batc.org.uk/atv-handbooks/
If there are any missing, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello Mike,

That's one I don't have and I had forgotten about it when I compiled my list. It doesn't seem to be available from either of the sources I gave.Mike-G8DLX wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 6:28 pmOne book I am not seeing on any of the lists and have a copy of is 'The Slow Scan Companion' By C Grant Dixon, John Wood & Mike Wooding It was published in Jan 1987.

Re: BATC ATV Handbooks
Dave,
I'm pretty sure I have copies of TV for amateurs and the ATV Compendium, somewhere - next time I'm able to get to my 'archive', I'll try to dig them out and scan them to PDF, if no-one else beats me to it
