I went to his website last night and sent an email asking if he is indeed still in business selling the books. If I get a response in the affirmative I think I am going to jump on it as quick as I can. I'd really like to have the set of three.

YES! Those 3 books are still in stock, special discount price of $94.95 plus $18 Priority shipping (tracked and insured), total of $112.95 and I intend to sell those forever!
The reason you got a question on this order was that I was sick for several weeks and am only now catching up on older orders. I can fill your order now, for $94.95 plus $18 shipping.if you still want these. You'll save $22 over the individual book prices.
Awaiting your reply.

Went many so called PDF sites. They claim to allow you to read and download. Require you sign up, then fill out more info, register a credit card....which they claim will never be utilized. WHAT? Delete page.
Poor guy has been sick for a few weeks, did reply to email and also did receive my book. Time to read,
You could at least wait until the author dies to screw with his retirement plan. If you ever author a book, we will be sure to post it here for free. Lou has made a huge impact on this hobby, he doesn't deserve that.
Edit: Sorry for jumping on you like that, just don't share his new ones that he is currently making money on. Welcome to the forum!

At least it isn't the newest updated version. When I first started this journey I searched torrent sites galore looking for a copy, because it was out of print at the time and the only place I could find it was eprey for like $400. I stayed in contact with Lou and as soon as he had it reprinted I ordered. I really like the spiral bound edition.
I wound up getting it (the 3 book set).... actually, my oldest son knew I wanted the set so he got it for me for Christmas several years ago. I am so glad I did! I have read sections of it like a "novel".
This is absolutely a "one of a kind" book... I have never seen another with such detail. I hope Lou lives forever.... but in the even he should pass on... I hope he made plans for someone to take over publishing and selling. This info can NOT be lost!!!!!!!! I have considered buying another set... JUST to have a primo ... unmolested copy to save.

Lou is good with breaking down things in a simple way that's easy to comprehend.
His Uniden export service manual was awesome good stuff when you could not jump on the web and find things in 30 seconds ,same with later Galaxy manual.
Channel guard, speech processor's, amp instructions with parts list and sources for the parts, lots of goodness.
Hope he's ok , none of us are getting any younger
