thanks! skimmed through the fifth sch.

i don't think Community Policing is under GIRN right? Since it's to broadcast emergencies also, somewhat? Not sure what freq. they're on, though.

Community Policing? Do u mean like Rukun Tetangga/Skim Rondaan Sukarela? If yes, they usually use Citizen Band (based on what I observed in my area - Setapak, Gombak)

Done submit my application form last monday! Cant wait to get my own callsign!

TL;DR if you have no license like pak guards, convoy, community policing etc, the allowed citizen band is

(a) 26.965000 MHz to 27.405000 MHz;
(b) 446.006250 MHz to 446.093750 MHz;
© 446.103125 MHz to 446.196875 MHz;
(d) 477.012500 MHz to 477.487500 MHz; or
(e) 477.525000 MHz to 477.987500 MHz.

Maximum is 5 watt but on 446 it is all max 0.5 watts only.
Refer to the table for more detailed explanation.

Congratulations! Have you made your 1st contact yet?

Not yet..hehe...im stay at rural place...need to set up mny equipment then i can make a first contact, huhu...recently i read about aprs..huhuhu...can you give ur opinion and story based on experience about it?

Need to collect money to buy those digital handy..hehe

I have not touched anything related to APRS but then, APRS is only for location relay or location tracking.

If you want to go to the digital route, I would suggest you get a Yaesu Fusion capable radio since there are I think two repeaters in KL that supports the Yaesu Fusion digital voice.

Personally, I am now using Motorola Mototrbo mainly because I am also using it for commercial communications.

Yup...i hope can buy those yaesu radio soon.

So, what is all about commercial communication? Can u give example?

It is out of HAM discussion and I was actually once told off when I wanted to discuss about it among ham groups hahaha
Especially when I want to discuss about trunking/mototrbo/p25 etc. and especially when I say that I am using a Motorola....

Anyway, for commercial use, usually you would have a private line or frequency that you are allowed to use outside of the HAM band. These are owned mostly by companies. There are certain companies like Electcoms who rents out digital trunking lines and by using this system, you can have nationwide coverage among your group on digital radio.

Another use of Mototrbo for me, I would probably discuss that if we go yamcha or something lol

But yeah, do look out for those Yaesu Fusion and do a lot of research first before buying it. You don't want to be buying a radio that is not compatible with the HAM repeater(for digital)

Wow! Thank a lot to learn..

Hehe, is the mototrbo can do such as p25? Interesting..if like that, that will be my dream handy.hehe

Yaesu fusion quite expensive for me, but maybe one day i will buy it..maybe..

Mototrbo is using DMR protocol which is other radios like Hytera is offering. Mototrbo is actually just a fancy name for DMR.
P25 is another different protocol. It is mainly marketed for the AES-256 encryption scheme and hardware key storage.

Hi guys and gals,

Wow its been quite a while since I've been here. Anyone planning to take the Class A licence soon? So tired been in Class B for so many years already. If got friend got more motivation.

Aminpro,

Your posts on Motorola has been interesting. Any cheap models you can recomment that I can test, play with?

I was planning to take Class A this year. Lost motivation since there were plans to abolish the CW exam so might as well just wait haha


For Motorola, if you want to explore into DMR, try getting one of those lower models like XiR P6600. I got one earlier this year at RM 300 from Mudah. Good idea to always monitor Mudah.my because usually company close or project ended they sell those for very cheap.

Ayam also planning on class A...hehe..when is the exam..?

I dont mind if i cannot pass next exam as long as i try my best...

Morsey and Morse Toad looks like suitable games that is related with CW.

Usually at the end of the year but your class B license need to be 1 year first.
