This Hamsters thread still alive ah?

Noob here...got some question to ask about the RAE..

thats fast!

i tot dead oledy..yay!

well..recently im quite interested with this radio amature thingy. i have done some research about it but non are up to the requirement for malaysia's spec. But some infos are useful for me though. Im planning to sit for the upcoming RAE on June (if skmm confirm the date)

im from shah alam, any hamsters from shah alam can guide me about RA stuff and perhaps if u can help me with a guides, notes and some past RAE papers..

question, can i just order the handy from E*ay and use it here in our country without any problems? bcoz from what i surveyed here, the price for a handy is quite high for me.

May i know whats the 'so so' best handy that i can have for a beginner?
Im interested with TYT/Puxing dual band..which one is better? or you guys can suggest some for me?

Thanks for your prompt replies wiraone. Appreciate it so much!

for sure i am going to hunt for a jalopy with a callsign on it.hahaa
I will head up to MARES HQ soon and i hope i got the time to drop by to the flea market this coming sunday (1w of the month right?)..or is it last week 1st april?

about ebay, last time i ordered a pair of motorola walkie and it seems like dont have problem with it..the parcel arrived at home safely. Maybe im lucky that time. Need to give a try for a 2nd time later..coz now im also interested with a Icom v82 and the cost are just about rm360 for a new one.

For a handy, is it fine if i just get the VHF type or better to get a dual band type?
