Very readable description with complete construction info.
Whether you intend to build the transceiver or not this book provides a complete description of a modern, state of the art radio. Randy discusses each circuit in detail explaining the operation and in many cases the reason for his choice of circuits. Complete details of construction are explained with a parts list, schematic, circuit board template and parts layout. The circuits are broken down into small workable units and in many cases can be tested before final assembly. This "test as you build" method could eliminate extensive trouble shooting when the project is completed. The writing style is clear, orderly, conversational and, occasionaly, humorous. This is an advanced project, however, there are many building tips and suggestions that anyone, beginner or advanced, will find helpful. Missing are the specifications of the completed transceiver (the power output is 50 watts) and the author's call sign (WI5W).
