So, Rick, will I need to schedule my TS-990 "Check ride" with the FCC or the FAA?
Terry, W0FM I don't know if this is true or not, but I hear there is a "simulator" being developed by Kenwood. Sort of like an airliner simulator. Before you are "authorized" or "certified" to sit at the controls of a 990 on the air you have to take a class and spend time in the simulator. When you graduate you are then permitted to buy one and operate. After major firmware upgrades you might have to re-certify. I also hear that pins will be awarded and will be highly prized and worn on your cap, alongside your DXCC Honor Roll pin. "TS-990 Certified - level 3" etc. Rick K2XT ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
