Good morning, Dan, I just received this book for Chirstmas and find it very useful (in fact, I found this forum becase of the book). It appears to cover much of the basics and provides a nice overview of various modes, down to describing the method of transmission, charater sets, etc. I am not famailiar with the Peter Martinez article, so I can not compare it directly, but I do not believe that you would be able to develop a program to use these modes based on the information in the book (if that is your intent).
However, I believe this book worthy of looking at. I have enjoyed reading it! Hope this helps. 73, Robert - N4IJS --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "AE9K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can anyone comment on the ARRL's HF Digital Handbook Fourth Edition > or CQ's Digital Modes For All Occassions by ZL1BPU? > > I don't want to wait until Dayton (where I can thumb through these) > to determine whether they have sufficient explanation of modulation > and encoding schemes, design assumptions and the like.
