Amateur radio 2 meter license
Hello all,
I am finding out about getting a GMRS license, and I guess there is no test for it but the cost is $75. How about for Amateur radio for the 2 meter band? Is there a test, a test and a fee, or just a fee. Also, if there is a test, is it able to be done on the interent through FCC.gov, or how does that work? Thanks. |

Is there a test, a test and a fee, or just a fee. Test and fee. The test covers electronics and RF theory, Part 97 rules, and amateur service operating practices. Commercial traffic is prohibited, just as on GMRS. http://www.arrl.org should contain much of the info you will need. It is not possible to take exams online. They must be taken in person. My advice would be to find a ham radio club local to your area, and see if they have any license instruction classes coming up.

FREE RADIO FOR ALL! 10-73's! i'll give you a -2 on your poor attempt to troll... thankfully the FCC remains committed to examination and testing for the three amateur radio licensing levels in the U.S... and from what i listen to on 80M, there are even experienced hams who don't know how to properly use an amplifier... NCI was founded by a bunch of whiners without brains, initiative or skills NCI is part of the "Me-Me" generation of losers without a work ethic and with little regard for learning, courtesy, or common-sense traditions in amateur radio... how's that for a troll? |

Much better than the original. At least this one has some truth to it. |
