The "Scanners" books have been consistent bestsellers, being the UK's leading guides to the short wave radio equipment employed by enthusiasts to monitor the VHF/UHF wavebands used by airfields, the maritime and emergency services and latterly RT and mobile telephone networks. Radio basics and aerial principles do not change much, but the equipment and the frequencies are ever-changing, hence the comprehensive updating by: the very latest equipment to use; getting the best from the technology; mobile and base monitoring; monitoring trunked and encrypted transmissions; and, decoding radio signals using personal computers with scanners.

Peter Rouse was the pioneering guru of the VHF/UHF listening hobby. Bill Robertson is the UK's foremost writer on radio scanners, having had a monthly column in the national press for over a decade. He has acted as a technical authority on a wide number of communication aspects and has appeared several times on TV, on local, national and international radio broadcasts, as well as in the national press.
