woah. you bought HAM radio without license?

I also bought handy first without license....

Same but not to the extent of importing one though. lol

Interesting..lets homebrew

To those who are interested in taking their RAE examination, there is two version of RAE now. Written that is twice a year and computerize online test which usually is held in MCMC HQ twice a month. Written results usually out 2-3 months after the exam. Online test results r known as soon as u finish and can apply for license the next day.

then wouldn't it be better to just take the online one? what are the fees like?

Fees to take the exam is only rm50

Eh, RM 60 lah. Same as application fee.

Still rm50...a few day ago just registered online my bro..

total cost leading up to having a Class B/Class A license?

starting off with a BaoFeng UV-5R

Fees as always is rm50 for RAE and morse code exam.

Application of AA is rm60 and for each time of renewal plus fees per year. Class B is rm24 per year and class A is rm36 per year. Each time can only renew up to 5 years. That is rm60 application/processing fee plus how many year u want to renew. Rm60+rm120 for 5 years =rm180. All this info is in the guideline by mcmc. Just look it up

their website is a bit hard to navigate, went to look there before posting here, went to the wrong part of licensing.. something about broadcasting, and I saw the figures were like 2.5k 2.5k

Search for amateur radio service in their website. Got even calls sign allocation guidelines which recently updated

You already got calsign?

yup i do have one. why?

Cost to get Class B and A licenses:

1. Sit for Class B license = RM50
2. After passing, get a Class B AA and need to have at least 1 year before you could sit for Class A license = RM60 + RM24x2 (2 years validity) = RM108
3. Sit for Class A license (CW test) = RM50
4. Passing Class A, application for Class A license = RM60 + RM36 (the least 1 year) = RM96.

So total cost to get a Class B license = RM50 + RM60 + RM24 (the least) = RM134.

Total cost go get a Class A license = RM50 + RM108 + RM50 + RM96 (the least) = RM304.

seems reasonable!


received my two units of UV-5R.

Both are set to the default

136.025
470.625

when I press the PTT, the other one will be able to hear, sure, but there's an extremely loud high pitch, any advice on how to rectify that?


I'm still a little confused as to what channels I'll be allowed to broadcast in Malaysia


and a bit curious on police/bomba scanning, will it be alright to tune into their freq? (Of course, NEVER EVER broadcast)

Usually stick to the Citizen Band (or MCMC called Personal Radio Service on FIFTH SCHEDULE - Refer here
If u are valid ham license, then can utilize ham and citizen band.
Bomba, JPJ n few govt agencies already use called GIRN (GOVERNMENT INTEGRATED RADIO NETWORK), technically u cant hear whatever they transmit even tuned to their frequency (digital, encryption etc2)
