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 -- The Anon Keyboard I doubt, therefore I might be "Jennie" wrote in message ... I noticed that some are 2 Meter/440 MHz Are those two ranges for technician too? "Keyboard In The Wilderness" wrote in message news:HNcjd.119245$hj.60542@fed1read07... 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: http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/49 Lots of mobile reviews at URL: http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/38 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 Anon Keyboard I doubt, therefore I might be "Jennie" wrote in message ... 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 |
