Personally, I find N&V a bit low-brow - not that I'm a snob, but it sometimes suffers from repetition and some of the circuits are, I feel, not well designed. ETI falls into that bracket too. Wireless World used to be good, many years ago, as did Practical Electronics and Practical Wireless (which got folded into ETI). I actually wrote an article about Fourier analysis for ETI after they published a design so bad and with such a poor and inaccurate description that it should never have got past the proof readers (if they had any). Circuit Cellar is not bad, and Elektor, for me, is the pick of the bunch - only thing with Elektor is that a lot of their stuff uses surface mount devices, so you'd best be happy with that. Nice stuff they cover - e.g. they are currently at part 8 of a detailed DSP introduction, for which they produced a really very good & cheap demo board to accompany the series. Elektor tends NOT to use commodity parts (whereas the others do) - they like to push the boundaries of new devices and techniques - e.g. they do a lot on SDR (software defined radio) and other nice stuff. My advice is to buy a couple of months of each, then decide. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
