i will try my best to come on the second since i ffk the first one, hehe

but i have a bbq on that nite as well ... what about 1st of Feb? Fri?

you do know that scanner are illegal in Malaysia - and even if u listen to trunking, they switch everytime the the ptt is pressed sooits kinda hard to follow ... and pdrm scanning ar, all i can tell is they operate on 170 - 180 on most states and district but recently if u noticed they have added a UHF antenna to their patrol car, so i would say they are utilising the UHF band as well ... not sure la, those can be trunking as well .... the long antenna is VHF and the short one is UHF as UHF's propagation is just not that strict ...

well if they do not have scramblers u mah can listen lo ... most out of KL, smaller districts will nt have one, so u can tune in to them ... but its kinda boring as its conversation between base console and patrol cars ... those out on speciallops will use uhf mostly ...

not really the case, now the issue is not really there, the thing is that without a RAE, you will not have a AA(Aparatus Assignment) - without an AA, you cannot be having any radio sets with you ... and thats radio on VHF and UHF ... so no radio no scanning and monitoring ...

now a scanner, it scans on a wider range of freq ... and generally a scanner is illegal in MY ...

without a AA, you are not allowed to use nor monitor the Amateur Band, and this applies from 145 - 148 only

hahah sendiri mau jaga la ...

congratulations - tahniah!

in order for you to apply for your callsign(9w2) - you will need the signature from 2 X 9m2 to endorse you ...

most of the time, clubs like mares, pradas or astra or any other clubs will have a TT where they will have 9m2 willingly to endorse you ... check with them and see

Oral la bro ... but dont worry la ... most 9mike are bunch of happy and nice guys ... there is nothing a glass of teh tarik cannot settle .. of curse u dont la lansee lansee with them ... be humble ...

can can can ... set a time, day ... tonite?

no, i have yet to acquire my 9w2 yet ...

and i dont really find the astra, marts, or mares sites helpful, seriously ... results from google is way better ... well i mayb wrong, but when i started this some 2 years back, the official club websites are really not that helpful in guiding a newbie ...

well, on another note, when is the next TT?

Langkah-langkah selepas Ujian RAE:

1. Isi Borang Application For Apparatus Assignment
2. Isi Borang Application For Amateur Station Assignment (Class B)
(Dapatkan Dua (02) tandatangan pemegang 9m2.
3. Isi Borang Statutory Declaation Regarding Secrecy of Wireless
Communication. (Dapatkan tandatangan persuruhjaya sumpah)
4. Isi Borang CallSign pilihan (Masukan 3 Callsign Pilihan anda).
5. Bank-In Fee for Apparatus Assignment untuk kelas B sebanyak
RM 60.00 untuk Application Fee dan RM 24.00 untuk Annual Fee
6. Setelah siap semua hantar borang BY HAND (digalakan) ke Pejabat MCMC
terdekat.

Akhir sekali tunggu dengan penuh kesabaran;

Sementara menunggu sijil siap monitor macam mana rakan-rakan keudara,
ikut mana yang baik dan betul tinggalkan cara yang tidak baik. Kalau
kompius tanya rakan-rakan yang lain. Kalau buat silap semasa On-Air
jangan gelabah BELUM ADA LAGI YANG KENA TEMBAK SEMASA BUAT SILAP ON AIR.

Jangan risau semua rakan-rakan radio amatur di dunia ini mesra dan
baik-baik belaka.

Kalau salah atau tertinggal tolong betulkan Borang-borang boleh di
donlodkan dari laman web MARES atau MCMC atau laman yang sewaktu
dengannya.

yes, its in their notice, damn long ago, only those who has got their current callsign with 2 alphabets and only if they maintain it, get to keep it.

all current assignment will be 3 letters, including 9m2

i never took the last rae ...

Akaun MCMC:
CIMB 1420 0005115 05 5
Maybank 5 14011 74237 3

Make sure you keep the bank-in slip! and bring that with ur documents and all.

9m2 signatures?

FYI - for B license holder you are permitted to work on only 4 bands thats the 10M, 6M, 2M and 70cm.

HF = 28 - 29Mhz, 50 - 54Mhz

VHF = 144 - 148Mhz

UHF = 430 - 440 Mhz.

with a max of 50w on all these bands allocated for class B ...

k now the question from eug, CB radio? CB radio is on 11m band ... thats 27Mhz, this is band is open to everyone, but still you will need a written permission to use this band from MCMC, at a max of 5watt - but with the correct antenna and good propagation, i think u can reach half the globe!

heard from some ham friends, u can get this set from kedai potong, half cut from japan will have this set, very cheap - bout 150 - 200 per set, but will require some sort of fixing ... and the antenna issue ...

for those FRS radios operating at the 477.***Mhz range, was initially open to everyone, where u can just buy and use it, approved in 2000, but was revoked back in 2004 or 2005 i think ... not really revoked but recategorized as PRS(Personal Radio Services)

but would depend which radio set u using - sets from China are from 409-410MHz wherelse those that came from US would be on the 465-467MHz(correct me if i am wrong)

check this for more info

do some searching before asking and this is off-topic!

Added on February 18, 2008, 11:36 pmand yeah for Class A holders, they can operate up to 100w on those bands and some up to 400w ... which we shall not go in to ...

never knew that there is a UHF CB, when u say CB, its definitely on the HF range ...

now the thing is that the term license free doesn't really exist here in MY ... not a single portion on the frequency is available for that sole purpose, even most of the freq allocated for amateur usage, are actually allocated as only secondary usage, primary would be for commercial usage.

those prs radios, i believe there are some from Midlands which operates at the MY PRS freq, never seen them before.

i have never seen these CB radios before, but i was told they have a few channels only, say on a CB set, there is gonna be only 3 or maybe 4 pre-assigned channels, and with a proper antenna, 5watt can get u very very far, easiest would be Indonesia and some say Sweden with good and proper propagations ...
