Ham Radio for Arduino and PICAXE: Easy to Build Microcontroller Weekend Projects-for Use in the Shack, in the Field, and on the Air!

Microcontroller technology has exploded in popularity among ham radio operators. The new generation of single-board microcontrollers is easier than ever to use, bringing together hardware and software for project-building most radio amateurs can easily dive into. With inexpensive microcontroller platforms-such as the popular open-source Arduino board-along with readily available parts, components and accessory boards, the possibilities are limitless: beacon transmitters, keyers, antenna position control, RTTY and digital mode decoders, waterfall displays, and more.
