Helo guys... newbie in amatuer radio here..

Just pass RAE december last year...now looking for handy..

any suggestion guys for newbie like me?

guys a quick question.. I'm planning to buy an long range cordless phone from a different country.. I'm kinda worried that the frequency in which it operates is not allowed in malaysia. Can someone advise if this frequency is allowed.. Transmitter 394MHz and Receiver 268MHz.. Thanks..

Yaesu vx8

Yaesu FT60R is the cheapest good dual band handy ..

I definitely agree. Cheap and multiple compatible parts with other Yaesu handies. In fact earl-ku is selling one, look for him.

halo halo new here
i'm interested to learn & sit for exam but very unfortunate me I got missed RAE-2 last year

anybody taking RAE-1 2012 dis year pls inform me so I don't miss again, thx

Done with the CW test, now waiting for the letter from mcmc. How long do they mail out the result?

Congratulation....

This Hamsters thread still alive ah?

Noob here...got some question to ask about the RAE..

Yes, still alive .. go ahead, shoot your questions .. someone will try to answer if they can.

thats fast!

i tot dead oledy..yay!

well..recently im quite interested with this radio amature thingy. i have done some research about it but non are up to the requirement for malaysia's spec. But some infos are useful for me though. Im planning to sit for the upcoming RAE on June (if skmm confirm the date)

im from shah alam, any hamsters from shah alam can guide me about RA stuff and perhaps if u can help me with a guides, notes and some past RAE papers..

question, can i just order the handy from E*ay and use it here in our country without any problems? bcoz from what i surveyed here, the price for a handy is quite high for me.

May i know whats the 'so so' best handy that i can have for a beginner?
Im interested with TYT/Puxing dual band..which one is better? or you guys can suggest some for me?

I'm from Sg Buloh, not familiar with any hams from Shah Alam but I believe they're quite a number .. probably you can just stop any of those hams which most of them will have their 9W2 or 9M2 call signs clearly visibile on their cars. Or you can try to head up to MARES clubhouse, they usually have a flea market on the first Sunday of the month. www.mares.org.my and check the info there. I've no idea when will be the next RAE, it will be usually announced in the paper and most clubs will put the announcement on their websites too.

On ebay thingy .. if you're lucky, it won't get stopped at the customs and if not, you'll need to apply for an import permit from SIRIM before it gets released from customs. No advisable!

TYT/Puxing and other Chinese branded HTs are good for a start. The cost shouldn't be more than RM350 each. But for sure, nothing beat the Japanese ones .. so, if you've money, go for those Yaesu, ICOM or Kenwood.

BTW, if you're on facebook .. there're quite a number of groups that you can join in.

Thanks for your prompt replies wiraone. Appreciate it so much!

for sure i am going to hunt for a jalopy with a callsign on it.hahaa
I will head up to MARES HQ soon and i hope i got the time to drop by to the flea market this coming sunday (1w of the month right?)..or is it last week 1st april?

about ebay, last time i ordered a pair of motorola walkie and it seems like dont have problem with it..the parcel arrived at home safely. Maybe im lucky that time. Need to give a try for a 2nd time later..coz now im also interested with a Icom v82 and the cost are just about rm360 for a new one.

For a handy, is it fine if i just get the VHF type or better to get a dual band type?

Yeah, don't hunt for the "tonto" though .. haha..

On the fleamarket, I've no idea really .. they had an AGM on the 1/4, no idea if they'll have it this weekend instead.

If you're on facebook, check the following groups:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/radioamaturmalaysia/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mymares/

Or do a search. MARTS members were usually had their gathering (eyeball) somewhere in TTDI on every Friday night but of late, they've none. The last one I attended was last year.

I've no idea what to suggest on a good handy to start with, but personally, I'm using cheapo Yeasu FT-60R, a dual band HT. There are few shops that sell amateur radios but the one I would suggest are One Communications (shop in Bukit Puchong) and Wave Communication (shop in Sri Gombak). For non amateur radio sets (aka those China made ones), you can find them all over .. Jalan Pasar, LowYat, Lelong, mudah.my ..

hi bro, i am new to CB here.. want to ask a few question...

is there anybody here familiar with honda gold wing cb radio?

does the cb radio have a same channel frequencies?

i want to buy cb radio for my bike because i want to communicate with others friends that using goldwing CB and what so ever, where can i find any those products in malaysia?

Not that many cbers around and not that many are selling cb radios locally either. May I know what frequencies do you guys used? I believe it should be the uhf one instead the hf.
