hahahaha
check first post ...

heard before, dual bander HAM thing. when i was at simlim singapore i suppose. price ranging rm1.5k > . wut can we really do with it? is it like the fbi toy that can hear a target's conversation from inside a van?

Your FBI toy is not part of ham radio thingy. Those are different kind of radio which operate on different spectrum.

Dual bander means you can monitor switch to few bands with the same set. Usually common dual bander are 70cm (400Mhz) and 2meter (144 Mhz). I got my license way back in 1999 the last Jabatan Telekomunikasi Malaysia still running the RAE (Radio Amateur Examination) when MCMC not even exist yet. Some dual bander capable of doing cross linking whereby you can setup repeater and etc.

If any of you really wanna take exam feel free to PM me and I will give you some guidance on how to obtain the exam including club membership as well whereby they will run some RAE classes to prepare yourself for the examination.

9W2JW << that's my callsign.

Haha nice try.. I will lose my license just for this. So, better not. But if you interested let me know yeah. Will let intro you to those ppl who will run some class to assist you in preparing for the exam.

I dont know where I put all the books that I had. Hopefully I manage to find it and pass it to you all for photocopy. I am using a Icom V8 but yet not really active with it compare to last time. Planning to get Yaesu FT8900R

If you guys really interested, let Earl or myself know maybe you guys can group together and study for the exam. I dont think I can remember much on those formulas but for those who in E&E field should face no problem on answer questions in RAE.

It's good to see more and more ppl are interesting in this hobby as Asian country like our neighbour Indonesia and Japan have quite high ratio number of ppl enjoying ham radio.

BTW RG58 in Pasar Rd is about RM1.50 last time (2004) but not sure the current price.

mine is a v82 ... 7whiskey ... err so far i can hit the genting repeater on the commercial club freq la ... and during the trip down to Segamat last week, it was operated by another 9w2, seems to be good on the simplex also, but was using an external diamond antenna la with a magmount on the pickup ...

very much depends on the power u are transmitting and the propagation ... the area you are in ...

but the best wan this fella in Muar, he is using this vx700(if i remembered correctly la) one of the highest range diamond outdoor antenna ... the fella was able to simplex with another fella which was from Muar to Linggi near Seremban ... with a 5/9 ...

I scared I cant help much coz so long didnt mingle with those electonics circuit and
calculation formula anymore. I got my license like 8 years ago whereby that time was the last exam ran by Jabatan Telekomunikasi Negara before MCMC was setup


You did went to Segamat to help on the ResQ ops? Heard quite number of 4WD guys went down there. I didnt own any 4WD and cant make anytime to there as for me stop working means stop income already

yup VX7000 is no doubt a good for simplex operation due to the high power output but also depends on your antenna setup then only you can achieve good DX quality.

owh ..

but now just curious on how is the RAE test like , what kinda questions they're gonna ask and all

bioweapon, yeah went down there last two week, got some friends together and passed the hat along, we managed to get about RM1.5k, so we bought some stuff and sent it down, was actually suppose to follow the convoy of 17 jalopy down ...

but then we had quite a lot of stuff(gas stoves, materess, blanket, foods) ... then i contacted 9W2TKC, he got another friend's jalopy and we went on separate ways, they went on to kampung peta and some orang asli settlements, i went over to kampung jawa and passed the stuff to 9W2PCK, it was raining when we arrived, was suppose to pass out the stuff on that day, but it was raining and everyone was packing and evacuating .. so we elft the stuff to be distributed by PCK...



the fellas vx7000 is on a ... i think at least 15feet pole, on the roof which is more or less 3 storey high ...

yeah forgot to mention its was almost all MARTS member ...

i heard they are all multiple choices questions ... some technical, some general knowledge questions on Amaterur Radio, some Rules and Regulation ...

ask bioweapon ... and bioweapons callsign ar, is those blardy old callsign lo ... u see those nowdays QSO wan ar, those with 2 alphabets wan ar, are all blardy veteran wan ...
