## Description

The Hobbyist's Guide to the RTL-SDR: Really Cheap Software Defined Radio : Laufer, Mr. Carl: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Informative - I was dubious having bought ham radio books before but this is excellent for both a new user of SDR and beyond but probably of little use to a very experienced user. It covers in simple to understand language the basics but moves on is a steady logical progression to all the other things you can do. It even covers plugins and the antennas. Well worth the money and almost a must on your kindle if you are interested in the subject. Well done to the author. De EA5IZO
Review: A little expensive but full of useful tips and advise... - Almost everything you need to know about SDR radio..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little expensive but full of useful tips and advise...
*by C***Y on 23 January 2024*

Almost everything you need to know about SDR radio..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vast amount of information, but requires a lot of hunting for the required elements
*by R***H on 19 November 2019*

This book is fairly expensive, but it does contain a large amount of information. However, it quickly moves into territory that leaves the newbie floundering. In particular, the huge range of signals that can be graphed, listened to, viewed and detected are given their technical names which leaves the interested beginner somewhat in the dark. There is a lot of help to be found on the Internet, so this is not too much of a barrier. I'm sure that it will be invaluable once the initial learning curve is surmounted.
