This is Scanners 5 by Peter Rouse and Bill Robertson, the very latest edition printed in late 2006.
This latest edition continues the well-respected tradition of the Scanners series of books. Again being virtually re-written, it reflects the changing nature of radio communication and how, with readily available equipment, one can tune into all manner of two-way radio communications !
All around us the airwaves are buzzing with messages, and this book provides useful and authoritative information on what equipment to choose, the importance of the antenna and its siting, and how to get the very best from your system.
Portable, mobile and base monitoring is detailed, and how to tune into a wide variety of users ranging from land based walkie-talkies to orbiting space stations using simple receiving equipment.
Monitoring trunked and encrypted transmissions is also detailed, showing how these can be monitored and decoded if possible.
Finally, the use of personal computers with scanners is also covered in a comprehensive section, showing how this combination can allow many types of radio signals to be decoded that would not be possible using a receiver alone.
Brand new, 235 pages.
