Well written book for electronics guys - Make sure you get the ProTechTrader electronics kit for 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

Excellent intro to radio by experiment
Introduces basic radio concepts by actually building circuits, starting with simple transmitters and growing more complex. Well-written, with good diagrams and photos. Although you will not need an oscilloscope to do the experiments, the book Includes a very informative discussion of them. Also, I highly recommend the supplemental kit of parts supplied by ProTechTraders, available on Amazon.

So far so good
I have not made it very far in this book but I can already tell it will be well worth the money and the challenge that comes with this book! An excellent buy so far!

Must Have for Your Electronics Hobbyist Library
The book is a great addition to any new electronics or radio hobbyist's library...up to date advice, fun experiments and you actually learn from this book. I am a newly licensed radio amateur and I heartily recommend this book.

Thoroughly enjoying this
I sold an expensive ham radio when I realized what I really wanted: to learn about radio using a pair of wires on my desk. The person I said this to then gifted me this book. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I made the transmitter circuit using the pair of 7555's, wound a coil to receive the signal, and listened to the audio (no electricity involved on the receiver circuit).The book is relatively short, which I appreciate. Radio is like magic, and this book does a nice job conveying the wonder.
