This post has me convinced there is a good market for a book, provisionally titled: SDR basics. Chapters might be: Hardware radios, Software radios, PowerSDR, Hardware considerations, Helper software and addons. Not really a nuts-and-bolts kind of book, the list is good for that. More a

The ARRL publication: Experimental Methods in RF Design by Wes Hayward, W7ZOI, Rick Campbell, KK7B, and Bob Larkin, W7PUA answers a lot of these questions plus chapter 10 deals very well with DSP. Also, Doug Smith's book Digital Signal Processing Technology is another excellent ARRL
