Sure. https://people.math.harvard.edu/~ctm/home/text/others/shanno...

Particularly part 4, The Continuous Channel. No discrete symbols there!

Maybe I’m not reading it properly, but in part 5, where he deals with transmission of continuous signals he doesn’t use his entropy formulation. He uses a distance metric, showing the difference between the sent signal and the received.
