By Andrew Barron, ZL3DW
The software defined radio world is developing so fast that much of the information online and many of the products for sale are already out of date. So, hugely popular author Andrew Barron, ZL3DW brings his best-selling SDR – Software Defined Radio book bang up to up to date with SDR 2.0.
Andrew again covers the basics of software defined radios without getting too technical. SDR 2.0 also remains focused on helping you to get the most out of your software defined radio or even deciding what to buy. Virtually all new amateur radio transceivers and receivers have some level of SDR integration. So, SDR 2.0 explains the merits of different types of SDR and there is a comprehensive list of the key parameters of many of the currently available models. SDR 2.0 doesn't stop here either as it looks at online SDR, SDR on phones and SDR Servers. It also explores SDR for listening, for CW, digital text modes along with contesting through to EME, microwave, satellites and various dongles.
New features are being developed continuously, but one of the joys of software defined radio is that it is evolving rapidly. This is great for those who like to tinker with new technology and be at the leading edge of what is possible. However, others may be more interested in the competitive edge that using an SDR can provide. SDR 2.0 has been updated to place more emphasis on the latest SDR and hybrid radios while introducing new ideas, such as the design of the QDX transceiver from QRP Labs.
Fully updated to the very latest radios from Annan to Yaesu, along with all the basic theory, SDR 2.0 remains the ultimate guide to software defined radio. If you are seeking to buy your first SDR radio, or upgrade to something new, there is no better guide available.
