Amateur Radio Books

If you live outside of New Zealand it is probably cheaper to buy my amateur radio books from Amazon or the RSGB webshop. The Kindle versions are also available from Amazon.

Description

You have written your masterpiece and possibly published it as a printed book. Now you want to produce a version for Amazon Kindle on KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) or another eBook reseller. Unfortunately, this turns out to be not as easy as you hoped. There are many options for converting your MS Word document into the .epub format needed for KDP upload, but they are all difficult to use and you have limited success. Typically the conversion requires you to make major changes to the Word document, or the translation software creates poor formatting, loses or moves the pictures, and can’t manage tables. That may be OK for a simple book, but it is a nightmare for the technical books that I write.

This book will help you format your book for publishing as a Kindle or other epub eBook, without major revision of the MS Word document. It still takes time and you will have to edit some HTML code, but I approach each stage with an explanation followed by step-by-step instructions. Best of all there is no cost for the software and you will quickly learn the process.   

What's next?

These are my next two projects. 

Hermes Lite 2 SDR

The Hermes Lite 2 is a QRP SDR transceiver. It is not a kit but it does require assembly into the optional case. The book covers this small transceiver, the RF filter board, I/O board, and the Hermes Lite 2+ board. I will cover interfacing the radio with several SDR programs including Thetis, piHPSDR, and SDR Console v3.

FLEX-8000 series radios

FlexRadio announced the release of the new FLEX-8400 and FLEX-8600 models at the Dayton Hamvention in 2024. The new models replace the Signature 6000 models. My book will cover the new radios and the older 6000 series radios, including the 'M' models, Maestro, and SmartSDR.
