Hi, does anyone know where i can shop for a radio in kl?

Thanx,
Cheers

to really shop for it, there is a few shops in KL, one famous one would the one in Lowyat, but thats cut throat wan ...

another in old klang road, they say it sells offroad stuffs wan ...

i get my stuff from 9w2pot or sometimes friend who goes to SG ...

Thanx.. SG = Singapore? which part of Old klang road?what brand do they carry?

what is this radio for??

Can anyone recommend me any good/reliable radio (brand/model) that i can get,but not too expensive..
Still looking around, not sure which one to get..
thanx..

Single band or dual band?

Handheld or mobile?

for a cheap starter set go for:

Handheld - Yaesu VX170, Icom v85, v82, which will set you back bout RM600. If you have some cash, move to something like Yaesu FTR60(dualband and trunking scan) RM850

Mobile - Everyones favorite would be Icom's 2200H(RM600) or Icom V8000(RM700) couple that with MC101(<RM100) or any mag mounts ...

that should be the average setup anyone could afford i think ...

a wise choice.. am using ic 2200h too.. its easy to program coz u can just use the ptt to do most of the settings..

hey anyone knows the process of applying reciprocal license? im lazy to check it out can anyone tel lme?

Reciprocal Operating Agreement

Foreign amateur radio operator may apply for Amateur Radio Apparatus Assignment under the reciprocal arrangement between their country and Malaysia.  MCMC may issue an Apparatus Assignment to the foreign amateur radio operator if they meet all the requirements.  The class of the Apparatus Assignment issued will be equivalent to the license class or assignment issued by their home country authority in their original home country.  List of countries which have reciprocal arrangement with Malaysia:

  1. Thailand
  2. Indonesia
  3. Laos
  4. Vietnam
  5. Myanmar
  6. India
  7. China
  8. Mongolia
  9. United Kingdom
  10. Germany
  11. Switzerland
  12. Finland
  13. Czech Republic


The Apparatus Assignment will not be issued for a period of more than the validity of the home country license, or 1 year which ever is earlier.

Foreign amateur radio operator which came from country which has no reciprocal arrangement will be dealt on case by case basis.  However, an introduction from a member of MARTS will be preferred.
