This seventh edition covers the rapidly increasing trend towards digital two-way radio communications and the latest handheld and mobile/base scanners with some digital modes fitted.The book covers the latest shifts in the hobby towards digital and PC- and tablet-controlled radio technology and illustrates the latest commercial radio scanning equipment and accessories.
