Make: Radio: Learn about Radio Through Electronics, Wireless Ex

Written very good. However, may be a bit difficult for beginners. Sources for components could better. Illustrations assume knowledge of electronics.

Great book that covers radio electronics from the very basics to digital.

This book provides a comprehensive clear guide to low cost ic’s, break out boards and also the Raspberry Pi Pico in radio. Fully functional projects are shown both in schematics and bread board assemblies. Code is provided for each project, where appropriate in the book and also for download on GitHub. Component sources are also suggested. I fully recommend it.

The book was well written, but it is written for someone experianced in the basics of electronics and is not totally for beginners in electronics, more for beginners with radio circuits, theory, HAM & Raspberry Pi microcontroller usage and programming. Built a lot of cool circuits with my man. Radio transmissions, garage door opener circuits, recievers, and my first time programming anything was fun with his help and the electronics kit. The book recommends you get the Make: Radio Electronics kit by ProTechTrader and so do I. Getting all of the components and electronic parts needed for the experiments in the book would have taken a long time and cost a lot more then the electronics kit does. https://www.amazon.com/Make-Electronics-Experiments-Microcontroller-Adaptations/dp/B0D9J65VXC

If you are interested in how radio works or you want to get started in amateur radio then this book is for you. Fredrick Jansson has written the best book I have come across that provide the right balance of theory, advice and experimentation to get a novice up and working. Just wish I had this book as a teenager or in college!
