One other thing. The reason for my post here about my new book, and
also the review on page 70 of the May 2008 QST, is to convey
information that might be interesting and valuable to some of the
members of this group and to QST readers. It is not motivated by a
search for financial profit, even though the publisher does pay a
small royalty to the author. That total amount is insignifiant
compared to the author's substantial personal investment in time (time
is not free) and materials over a three year interval.

Sad part is that courtesy of the IRS rules, it is a gamble to publish a
small run, specialty book like this at that price. Used to be
different, but that's the reality now. In any event writing one is more
a labor of love than anything else unless you need the publication to
get tenure.

I haven't seen the book and wouldn't buy it because I've been doing this
stuff for 25+ years and already have dozens of books on signal
processing. But if you don't have that sort of background and are
interested in software radio, you really need this or something like it.

There is no substitute for doing the math yourself.

Table of contents looks good though I wonder if it's not a proposal
outline that Wiley has failed to update rather than the actual table of
contents. "Discuss the MathCAD program" doesn't seem like a good section
title.

Have Fun!
