wta is there any specific text books that you have to read b4 taking the RAE test??

the malaysian class b license is equivalent to technician class or general class in the US because i found a website (radio exam)thats offers to practise the exam online, & is it relevant to the malaysian syllabus for a class B license

(i'm interested in taking the RAE exam during end of this year)

ICV8
This radio features military grade construction, CTCSS/DTCS encode/decode with tone scan and a full 5.5 watts out with the optional BP-222N battery. Low power output (0.5 watts) is also featured. The V8 has three different scan modes. These are Programmed, Memory and Priority Watch. Zoom through your personalized scan ranges, 3 user selectable pairs at 40 channels per second. You also get 100 alphanumeric (5 character) memory channels. Each memory stores frequency, name, tone, output power and duplex setting. Plus enjoy fast 40 channel per second scanning. Five DTMF memory channels with up to 24 DTMF codes allow remote operation. The optional DTMF decoder unit (UT-108) provides code squelch operation and pager functions.

it depends for on your budget, if got the money y not get a good set, but for me as a beginner & with the limitation money that i have, i choose tk-508 with additional a telescopic antenna as my first rig/handy (don't know which is the correct term)

everyone have their own preference right

so far there is no news from mcmc bout the next RAE test, moreover the previous RAE test result also haven't announced, will you be taking it also BingYao?? i will also be taking it, but hopefully it is during the end of nov, thats the only time i can take it after my finals exam, & have time to prepare for it

take with me also, i also will be taking the next RAE exam, congrats also to those who have pass, & for those who failed never mind, try again & take the exam with us

thats great, wut callsign you r hoping to get??
