5.0 out of 5 stars Joe does it again! Bravo!, April 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Technician's Radio Receiver Handbook: Wireless and Telecommunication Technology (Paperback)
If you use a soldering iron and oscilloscope this is a very good discussion of radio theory, circuits and hands on experience. Joe Carr is the best at what he does, and this is a very good example.
