hi all, anyone siiting the RAE exam in northern region?

What does it take for foreigners to get an amateur radio license in Malaysia?

Is there a remote exam site or club organized exam that is hopefully in a more accessible?

My main interest in Amateur radio is building radio equipment, what license is required to be allowed to build and operate a qrp transmitter in Malaysia? Is building an HF receiver illegal in Malaysia if unlicensed? I wanted off the air CW practice so I built a small simple DC receiver.

prysm,

If you've your license from your country, you could try to get the reciprocal callsign from MCMC, if otherwise, you need to sit for the exam, more info on the examination can be found here:

https://sems.skmm.gov.my/sems/exams/examinfo

The exam is run by the MCMC, twice a year, usually in June and Dec. Since the application for Dec has been closed, the earliest you could sit will be next June.

There are two classes, class A can operate on most amateur bands while class B could only go for UHF/VHF and 10m/6m for SSB. No CW allowed on HF for class B. You need to sit for class B first, you need to wait for a year after you've the class B license before you're allowed to sit for class A.

Class B RAE test consists of 100 multiple answer questions, covering the law, guidelines, electronics, antenna and radio. Class A test will be CW only test, 12wpm rx/tx.

Building a receiver is not illegal, transmitting on air is illegal. SWL is also not illegal, though getting the radio without you having the license will usually considered as 'illegal'.

wanna ask about walkie talkie, is it usable among different brand?

e.g we have a Kenwood with 16 channel, but this walkie talkie cannot set the frequency. I think it's preset already just turn the knob to channel 1,2,3,......

Then we have the Baofeng UV-5R which is digital and can be programmed, as long as we know what frequency the kenwood is in, then we just key in the frequency number to the baofeng and then can communicate with each other rite?

also is there a way for baofeng to scan the frequency to lock into a frequency with ppl communicating??

6 dits? are you sure?

Damn .. 8 dit and not 6 .. tq PiJu for correcting me.

no problem. CW == corrections wanted

cqcqcq. Any station
