Jennie -- from the ARRL site URL:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg.../allocate.html

Techs have all of the following privileges:

6 Meters

All Amateurs except Novices:
50.0-50.1 MHz: CW Only
50.1-54.0 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data

2 Meters

All Amateurs except Novices:
144.0-144.1 MHz: CW Only
144.1-148.0 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data

1.25 Meters
The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis. This
allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems operated by
all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause interference
to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this and adjacent
bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 kHz
bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are
the primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an
AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to
beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station
must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning
operations. ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS stations. The FCC
requires that amateur operators provide written notification including the
station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at
least 30 days before beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the FCC
Rules.

Novice (Novices are limited to 25 watts PEP output), Technician,
Technician Plus, General, Advanced, Amateur Extra classes:
222.00-225.00 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data
70 Centimeters

All Amateurs except Novices:
420.0-450.0 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data
33 Centimeters

All Amateurs except Novices:
902.0-928.0 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data
23 Centimeters

Novice class:
1270-1295 MHz: CW, phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data (maximum power, 5 watts
PEP)

All Amateurs except Novices:
1240-1300 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, MCW, RTTY/Data
Higher Frequencies:

All modes and licensees (except Novices) are authorized on the following
bands [FCC Rules, Part 97.301(a)]:


2300-2310 MHz
2390-2450 MHz
3300-3500 MHz
5650-5925 MHz
10.0-10.5 GHz
24.0-24.25 GHz
47.0-47.2 GHz
75.5-81.0 GHz*
119.98-120.02 GHz
142-149 GHz
241-250 GHz
All above 300 GHz
2M that is 144 to 148 MHz is the mostly commonly used followed by 440 MHz
band (70cm)
In a nutshell -- all authorized frequencies from 50 MHz (6M) and up

I noticed that some are 2 Meter/440 MHz

Are those two ranges for technician too?

Congrads on passing the test Jennie

Be sure you want an HT instead of a mobile.
A mobile can be easily removed from the car and used as base station
(with an external power supply)

For $300 you can buy both an HT and a mobile and a power supply --
example HT - ICOM IC-T2H and an ICOM 2100H Mobile

Suggest you go to a local Radio Store in your area -- look at and try out
the various HT's and mobiles and discuss them with the sales people.

Lots of HT Reviews are at URL:

The best code practice program is the one that works for you.
Beware of advice that sez -- "this is the best one" as it might have been
for the person who recommended same but just doesn't click with you.

For Morse trainer freebees and demos see URL:
http://ac6v.com/morseprograms.htm

For how to learn the code (varies with the individual) see URL:
http://ac6v.com/morseaids.htm#Learn

Two things that almost all will recommend is:
"Study EVERY day for 20 minutes to a half hour"

AND

"Whatever method you use, try to *hear* the code directly as a letter.
IOW, don't try to translate the sound into dot-dash and translate that
into A, just hear the dot-dash and think A. Easier said than done, but
when you master it your receiving speed will increase dramatically."

The AVERAGE person needs about 30 hours of study and practice on the code
to hit 5 wpm.

Good Luck

the technician's test today....Not sure of what type of handheld to buy?
Appreciate any help in selecting my first piece of equipment...

I want a handheld with an antenna, and be able to put up an antenna on
the roof of my car and in my attic...

Under 300 if possible.


What is the best Code training stuff out there?

Thanks
