Hello all,

I am finding out about getting a GMRS license, and I guess there is
no test for it but the cost is $75.

How about for Amateur radio for the 2 meter band? Is there a test, a
test and a fee, or just a fee.

Also, if there is a test, is it able to be done on the interent
through FCC.gov, or how does that work?

Thanks.

Just wait another year or so, NCI is working hard to rid the world of those
silly tests.

FREE RADIO FOR ALL!

10-73's!

Test and fee. The test covers electronics and RF theory, Part 97
rules, and amateur service operating practices. Commercial traffic is
prohibited, just as on GMRS.

http://www.arrl.org should contain much of the info you will need.
It is not possible to take exams online. They must be taken in person.

My advice would be to find a ham radio club local to your area,
and see if they have any license instruction classes coming up.

Good hunting.
