Now I have a few questions...

How the ^%$#(*&$ do you get to even own a 2m radio without knowing how to
do
this ELEMENTARY calculation? Do you have a licence? Have you learnt
absolutely nothing? This formula is the first one in the book together
with
Ohm's Law!

Perhaps he took the test over a year ago, has only been using a HT,
and is now wanting to get into mobile use?

Let me ask you a few questions:

How far in advance of a turn are you required to use your turn signal?

What is the maximum distance you may enter a bike lane prior to making
a turn?

You may use your hi beams if a car coming towards you is more than
____ feet away, or if a car is in front of you in the same direction
as you, more than _____ feet away.

Gee, you don't know? How the &*^#*$@ did you get your drivers license?

Get the point?

To reply, remove TheObvious from my e-mail address.

OK I admit I did come on a bit too strong, I'm sorry.

However, your analogy with drivers licence test questions is a bit off
base...
Not knowing how to convert between frequency and wavelength is much more
fundamental than knowing the distance to dip your lights.
Its rather like being uncertain about the difference between a steering
wheel and a spare wheel.

Anyway this is the last word I'm saying on this topic.
