Radio Handbook, Twenty Third Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The late Bill Orr, W6SAI, was a legend to many of us old timer hams. His books were always practical and helpful. Radio Handbook is no exception. This is a reprint of an older edition of Radio Handbook so its technology looks like 80's vintage. (Get the ARRL Handbook for recent stuff.) This book's strength is tube-type linear amplifiers. That's why I bought it and I'm happy with it. Very practical help and ideas. His general radio theory sections are quite clear as well. For other circuits and devices, I found the material rather dated. But for amps, it's my book!

Electronic Surveillance And Wireless Network Hacking: Protecting Your Privacy in a Wired and Wi-Fi World Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I felt that this book was a complete waste of my money, and I became of the opnion that the writers lacks even the slightest grasp on the subject on which he writes and it is clear that they they lack any kind of formal technical training on WiFi Network security, or for that matter on electronics in general. This book doesn't even raise itself to being worthy of being read by a script kiddy, and it just endless drivel. All the reader gains from this book is material he would have downloaded for free on hundreds of websites ten years back. The material in the book is a solid ten years out of date, either the authors got stuck in a time warp, or spent a little too much time of the Federal Witness Protection Program. In the case of this book the infromation is watered down to increase the page count. Much like much of other M.L. Shannon's works the material is not unique or original, and is just drivel and of no value.
