Hi, I'm interested to get a license. I'm still looking for any write-up on the step by step from scratch till certification. I've tried to look into MARTS as per recommendation from this thread, however it still need to register and pay a fee.
I have to know what is the way and is there's any possibilities of getting the license, before joining the society. And, will the test be conducted online now?  Edit: Took the trial test just now. Still require some (a big some) of googling. Really need to brush up my electronic/electric knowledge. This post has been edited by nohal: Aug 27 2020, 12:25 PM |

QUOTE(aminpro @ Aug 27 2020, 03:04 PM) Just refer to the SKMM Guideline here Oh thanks. At first it's a little bit confusing. Now it is slowly become clear.https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/files/att...ervice_2012.pdf It has the steps from start to finish regarding on how to obtain a license. Particularly on page 14 to 32  Btw, if I've understood it correctly, the RAE test is done online (but at a venue). Right? Edit: Nope, I have a lot more to learn.

QUOTE(aminpro @ Aug 30 2020, 08:57 PM) I am not really familiar with the online version but last time, the computer version is held at a venue monthly. Thank you for the detail explanation. Is it sufficient to do the MARTS trial exam questions or I have to have a book study first. I took one trial test got a 67%, with a little bit of googling, thank god I still remember my electronic subject during the college days. I took the normal one in Shah Alam where everyone answered on a paper like SPM Basically the steps are 1. Register for examination slip 2. Go exam 3. Pass exam 4. Get certificate 5. Use certificate to apply for callsign 6. Wait until callsign approved 7. Can start to use radios You would need to pay twice. This is an admin fee. One time for exam (RM 50), another is for callsign application (RM 60). License fee is actually just RM 24 annually. Best to extend the license to 5 years otherwise, you have to pay RM 60 every year just for admin fee. Just struggle a little bit on Regulation and Operation procedures questions. Btw, is it normal for a newbie to get AROC Class A right of the bat? |

QUOTE(aminpro @ Aug 31 2020, 07:55 PM) I come from an Electrical Engineering background so my experience in that part might differ. Understood. I'll go through the past RAE tests several times and once confident, i'll take the RAE test. Also, I'll try search for the pre-RAE class/seminar.I just did one past year exam once and that was enough to pass the RAE exam. Just try to find past year papers and try those. The questions asked are very basic electrical stuff so don't have to go too deep into reading. As for the law side, the guideline by SKMM should cover everything. Usually, there are also pre-RAE classes/seminar. Those are extremely helpful as well but not sure if there are any during PKPP Referring to my previous post, is it okay to take the AROC Class A cert as a newbie? Or the Morse Code Test is far from standard, meaning I have to have some experience before take the test, rather than just memorizing and getting familiar with the morse code? Once again, thank you. |

QUOTE(aminpro @ Sep 1 2020, 02:09 PM) Here is one online class I came across if you are interested All right, thank you. https://www.facebook.com/arguitm/posts/3336924623041638 As for AROC Class A, you need to take the RAE + Morse code. The only extra exam is the morse code. You have to receive and send at a rate of at least 12 words per minute (page 16). Passing the RAE itself already grants you eligibility for Class B. Usually people just apply for Class B while waiting to go into Class A since the morse code exam schedule is different than RAE. QUOTE(wiraone @ Sep 1 2020, 03:31 PM) You need to hold the Class B license/ticket for a year before you're eligible to sit for the Class A morse code test. Thank you. I've re-read it, yeah. It was my mistake, last time I read, I thought it needed 1 year to change to something else. ASAA or some sort. |
