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!

Thank you very detailed indeed, but just to get a regular ham radio license i need to get signatures from marts? And need to go to the com of oath? :0

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

Alright thanks man, how am i gonna get 2 signatures? hahaha

Sifu, i bought a pair of pofung UV-6R, these are legal right?..sorry in advance, I know nothing about Amateur radio..

Legal or not is according to what frequency you saved in the radio.

Anyone here using PlutoSDR ?

Im bought yaesu vx8r..izzit suitable for beginner?

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.

What model you suggest for upgrade

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.

Hi pros, i need advice, iam planing to get a Diamond MR77S mag mount for my bao feng and future upgrade (i-com moblie set). My question is the mr 77s antenna is only for 144 /440. So it means i can't transmit at 430? Since uhf hams are at that frequency

144/440 mean 2m/70cm

or 144 MHz to 148 MHz / 430.000 MHz – 480.000 MHz (depend on your region)

Malaysia VHF/UHF by MCMC is 144-148Mhz/430-440Mhz

so 144/440 just to let u know support V/U

Usually there are no problems and you can even get away with being off the center tuning/rating of the antenna if you are on UHF/VHF.
Don't worry so much about the antenna rating as long as it is rated for the correct band type.

The problem usually comes when you are playing with HF where the SWR(standing wave ratio; the signal that get bounced back into your transmitter if the antenna impedance does not match with the transmitter[1:1 means no reflection and balanced impedance]) gets pretty huge when you go off in which you are going to need an antenna tuner anyway.

You can read more on antenna tuning and SWR here:
https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/in...derstanding-swr

The basic stuff you need to know about antenna tuning is however is going to be usually the length of the antenna.
If you buy an MC101, those can be cut into your desired center frequency. However, they are all tuned for HAM frequency anyway so don't bother so much about it if you are buying an off the shelf stuff.
Tuning on HF on the other hand usually involves adding or subtracting impedance values on your antenna. This is usually done by adjusting the capacitance and inductance values which is located in the antenna tuner(because you can't be cutting the antenna and adding length to the antenna every time you seek around different spectrum).

Hope this helps you.

Hi everyone, my name is Matthew Khor, I am a newbie in HAM radio, currently going to take RAE this August which I dont think I can pass lol. Anyway I'm currently staying in Butterworth, Penang so anyone know any club which I could joint to buff up my knowledge
on how to pass the RAE near my area?

Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Just go tru one set of past paper once. Confirm pass.

im same area as u but i ady passed, im not pro ham at all. u need electronic knowledge that helps a lot.

Thanks for the advice. Have read the exam sample paper and man, it's like SPM again lol.

Thanks for the advice. I am jack of all thread but master of none, especially electronics XD. Wish me all the best.

By the way guys, where can i find the list of radio equipment which is legal to be used in Malaysia? Such as Brand, Model etc. as I cant find any list on the website. I am currently owning BAOFENG UV-5R & Btech Mini UV-25x2 which I think its not legal here and its super cheap. Was thinking of getting a YAESU FT-7900 but not sure its legal or not.
