om...
I have a general radiotelehone operatorslicense with a radar
endorsment. Can I get an amateur license without taking the test(s).
No reason why I could take the test but that I am very time
constrained. Thanks in advance.

nope, sorry. still have to take the test. there are lots of rules,
different operating procedures, and theory from basic circuits to antennas,
fields, waves, that are part of the amateur tests. some of it may be common
in the technical area, but there are lots of different things also.
