Didn't say CW is dead .. but it is obsolete, not needed anymore. US, UK and many other countries have dropped the requirement to pass CW to get a full license.

check Harian Metro page 45 for details... or klik this --->Harian metro - Padah tiada piawai Sirim

Kaikon, why not go to Jalan Pasar and asked if any of them sell the stickers? Hehehe.. if not, just peel off the SIRIM sticker from those chepo 3-pin plugs .. should work a treat ..

But guys, really .. if you think your rigs are not certified, better not go near MCMC and showing off .. hehehe..  And this is the good time for MARTS to come into action .. oh, forgotten that MARTS is already dysfunctional..

Ya, rioven HF rig should wait till you are working, or not the cost will really burn your pocket, as for me i dont really monitor anywhere hahaha, it depends actually, i am usually on mobile then i will monitor repeater like RKK, RES & if simplex mostly v47 la, hey piju where is your location?

even dual-band mobile set like yaesu ft-8800 still a dream not to mention hf sets. Yeah piju..where do u stay?
Talk about mobile, where i should i tap power for mobile set..direct from battery?
