 Hi Dan
 
 Go for the Digital Modes For Occassions by ZL1BPU, I have just 
 received this book and can't put it down. I have the other book as 
 well, which I feel is more of a primer,where as the ZL1BPU book digs 
 deeper without loosing your interest and without getting too 
 technical and loosing you.
 
 Good reading

It must be a great book indeed.  I looked for it on amazon.com and
all they had was a used copy priced at $92.70.!  However you can get
a new one from CQ for a lot less.

 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. I'm 
concerned 
 these may be more of a primer on how to operate using each mode. 
 
 What I'm looking for is along the lines of the article Peter 
Martinez 
 wrote for QEX back in 1999 on PSK theory, implementation and on-air 
 performance. 
 
 Anyone that has either of these books care to comment on their 
 content?
 
 I'm also open to suggestions for other books or articles that are 
 Martinez-esque in content and clarity.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Dan, AE9K

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.

Robert - N4IJS

Hello,

 

The ARRL also sells a very nice book about Digital Signal Processing
although at $45 it is a little expensive.  I am just getting started reading
it but if you want to know how all of this stuff we are doing in digital HF
really works, this would be the book to read.
