Download or read book Testing 123 written by Andrew Barron and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Harcover edition has a larger 7"x10" format with a larger print size. It has one or two more illustrations and other minor changes. Well worth the extra price in my opinion. The book includes performance checks that you can do at home without investing a lot of your hard-earned cash in expensive test equipment. Using new products from the Internet and free software in place of expensive test equipment. Later sections deal with more advanced testing methods which require a more serious investment in test instruments. Even if you don't want to invest money in buying a lot of equipment that you will seldom use. You can read the 'lab testing' chapters to get an appreciation of how the tests are carried out and the 'real world' situations they emulate.Are the bands dead? Or has your receiver developed a fault? Maybe your antenna system has a problem? How do you check? Why do any tests at all? Many people have been involved with the radio hobby for years and have never tested anything. But what happens when something does go wrong? Will you even know there is a problem? And if you do, how will you identify the cause and fix it?

Download or read book The Radio Today Guide to the Yaesu FTDX101 written by Andrew Barron and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes useful tips and tricks for the configuration and operation of the amazing Yaesu FTDX101D and FTDX101MP transceivers. Rather than duplicate the manuals which describe each button, function, and control individually, I have used a more functional approach. This is a "how to do it" book with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. For example, I describe how to set up the transceiver for SSB operation. Then I follow that up for CW, FM, RTTY, PSK, and external digital mode software such as FT8. The aim is not to replace the manual but to more fully explain how to configure and operate the radio to take advantage of its many great features. For example, when I cover the front panel controls, I explain not only what the control does, but how and when to use it. Along the way, I offer a few 'tips' on how I configured my radio. You don't have to follow these suggestions, but they provide some guidance.The FTDX101 transceivers have superb technical specifications, and the FTDX101D currently holds the top position on the highly regarded Sherwood Engineering transceiver performance table. The book covers both variants of the transceiver. The FTDX101 is a truly exceptional radio for contesting or working DX stations. Learn about the dual receivers, the band scope display, and the new FT8 Preset. This book will help you get the most from this complicated transceiver.

This book explains how SDR works and how well it performs. It is not a programming or software guide. There is a minimal amount of mathematics and hardly any software code. The book is for amateur radio operators and anyone who wants a technical introduction to software defined radio receivers and transceivers, for the high frequency and short wave bands. Most of the concepts are illustrated with helpful diagrams and pictures. It covers; the different types of SDR, how they work, tests used to measure their performance, the components of a typical direct conversion SDR, code in the FPGA, and the elements making up SDR software for the PC.
