It quite because everyone is monitoring and never call out It usually busy during the morning and evening run.

It's a Yaesu Fusion repeater, so, do get the correct digital radio. There are few digital voice mode out there, so they probably not compatible with 9M2RKL.

On your license (or AA they call it), you need to download the following form:

https://www.skmm.gov.my/skmmgovmy/media/Gen...E_v2018_ISO.pdf

Can't use other than the above since it has coded ref document on top left.

1) Fill up the following sections: 1, 2, 6, 7 (the rest can be left unfilled).
2) Appendix A - You need to get signatures from 2 - 9M2/6/8 or any authorised person from MARTS (I guess those who hold position in MARTS).
3) Appendix B - Go to either commissioner of oath, JP or magistrate to take your oath. Comm. of Oath will charge you minimal fee (RM4 if I'm not wrong).
4) Appendix C - Fill up callsign that you want, check if the callsign is not used. If you've android phone, download MY Callsign from google play and search any available callsign. Please be reminded, this app hasn't been updated for quite a while. Do check from the following website for latest database.

Good luck!

That is the regulation here, nothing much can be done about it.

Should be okay. It seems most beginners start with handy talkie (me too, my first rig was FT60R). However, the output power is limited to 5W, so, you probably will have problem working on some distance repeaters. Just use it and upgrade later.

It depends on what and how you gonna use it. If you're always mobile and would like to have a contact during driving, then, get a mobile rig. If you're in klang valley, we've two digital repeaters which use Yaesu Fusion. If you would like to have a conversation in digital and with DX station, you probably want to get a Yaesu Fusion rig (FTM100DR or FTM7250DR - new) probably will suite you. If you're not interested in digital voice, and want to stick with FM, then any other radios from Kenwood, ICOM or Yaesu will do.

The one available at MCMC website is obsolete already, hasn't been updated since 2004. We tried to help them coming up with updated list, but I have no idea which bin it went to. Anyway, buy from Yaesu, Kenwood, iCom and you'll be okay.

Congratulations, where is your location?

Sapa sifu? Ask the TS lah. Or create a new thread.

Go to the first page lah, the first person who created this thread, its the thread starter lor

Anyway, I believe the TS already long gone and not interested in amateur radio. eddie_lim, go ahead create a new one

Few steps before you could get your license:

1. Sit for the radio amateur exam (RAE). Currently, two different RAEs organised by SKMM, the manual exam which is held biannually at few places around Malaysia and the other option is to go for computerised RAE (ORAE) which is organised monthly at selected centres around Malaysia. Information on taking the RAE can be found in https://sems.skmm.gov.my/sems/ which includes the registration for RAE, schedule etc. The cost for taking the exam is RM50/seating.

2. After you pass the RAE and receive your test result, you need to apply for your callsign and AA (apparatus assignment). The cost for processing the AA is RM60 and the cost for your license will be RM24/year (max 5 year per application).

3. You'll be able to transmit after getting your callsign/AA. On what frequencies and power etc, it is written in your AA.

To prepare yourself for the RAE, just search on the net, "Sample RAE" and you'll find many available on the net.

Important documents to read:

Senyap2 order, senyap2 guna BTW, I will recommend the ones with TCXO so it will not drift when it becomes warm.

For those who are interested in sitting for the RAE, there will be a class by MARTS. Details as per the FB link below.
