I would like to purchase a PDF copy of this book. How can I do this? I can only find the kindle version on Amazon.
Many thanks in advance,
Im simply wondering if there is a more updated copy since Amazon shows the ebook was last updated to edition 7 on 19 February 2018. Some significant changes can occur to SDR in three years. If so Im game for purchasing.
are there any plans to release this as a PDF copy?
I don’t see the table of contents in the Amazon link… anyone know what kind of example APPLICATIONS are shown?
I’ve got an RTL-SDR, HamItUp Converter, multiple antennas and a LimeSDR on the way, and I’m hoping to find more than just a driver install guide.. I’m looking for a beginners guide on
Antennas
Listening to Trunked Radio (single/multiple rtl-sdr)
Listening to Digital Voice (DStar, D+, D-,DMR, P25, C4FM (fusion))
Using an sdr as a low-cost spectrum analyzer (osmocom gr_fosphor, Spectrum Sense, rtlpower)
Satellite Images (Weather, APT, WEFAX etc)
RDS and AM
why would any one buy an e-book for $4.99 or buy an upgraded copy for $24.95 when you can get it free at the following site

Unfortunately this is an illegal upload and not to mention a very old and outdated version of the book…I won’t take any legal action on this upload, but if you like the book please pay for it as I put a lot of effort into writing it. Not sure what you’re saying about an “upgraded” copy? There’s the physical paperback for $19.99, and there’s nothing costing more than that.
Any plans of putting this up on Google Play Books?
Purchased it, but am a bit confused about the general frequency guide. Isn’t the CB band around 27Mhz? That’s from Wikipedia. To be truthful I remember this to be 25mhz as a child in Portugal, but memory can play tricks. And things change. 🙂
Does this cover how to use RTL-SDR with a mac? (And I don’t mean having to resort to Parallels and Windows)
Sorry there isn’t much about Macs in the book as most software is Windows or Linux based. But if you know how to compile Linux software on your Mac there may be some info for you.
Amazon says $4.99 here….
The price is $6.99 on Amazon. Any promotion code?
Only for US orders? I am in Hong Kong.
The price is half of what Amazon prices it at normally in your country.
