Say, does anyone have a copy of Joe Dixon's books, "Spread Specturm Systems"
from 1976 and "Spread Spectrum Systems with Commercial Applications" from
1994? I'm curious how the content compares between the two.

I'd also be curious to hear the impressions of anyone who might have chosen to
shell out the $190 (ouch!) for his "Radio Receiver Design" book?

Thanks,
---Joel Kolstad

I've got the former, but not the latter, and so can't compare them. If the
later book is anything like as good as the earlier one, only with
additional matter, I'll have to put it on my must-buy list. And now I need
to investigate the "Radio Receiver Design" book. My bookseller thanks you,
but my wallet doesn't.

That's Robert C. Dixon - both books listed and reviewed at Amazon.com.
