Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Licensing Exam Info
I used this one to get my extra license. It worked very well. The other nice part is you can keep going from tech to extra. http://www.hamtestonline.com/ From: La Rue Communications Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 11:43 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Licensing Exam Info Good Morning All - I am looking to take my Licensing exam and get my HAM / Radio Operator's license. I was told there was one online for about $80.00 but I don't have the first clue where to look. Is it somewhere on the ARRL web page, or somewhere else I need to be looking? Also - how long are the licenses good for? If you point me in the right direction - I can handle it from there. :-) Thanks! John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Licensing Exam Info
John, The way Ham Test Online gives the questions to you and the way it give the information to you is what make it work. I did about 1 1/2 hrs a day about 25 hrs total and had no problem getting a 94 on the extra class. It had been 26 yrs ago that I got my General so it was great to have it done. I love having access to the extra band's. Good luck you will like it and get your ticket. Just keep at it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] WTB Motorola VHF repeater
Thanks Mike. I must have written down the wrong number while looking through the site. Yes the MTR 2000 is what I would be looking for.

I have been told there where a lot of these at Dayton this year. Sadly I wasn't there. If you have something, drop me a note. Thanks, N0FJP The MCS-2000 is a mobile radio. The MSF5000 is a repeater, as is the MSR2000 and the MTR2000. The MSR is loosely based on the Mitrek mobile radio and is covered here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/msr2000/msr2000-index.html It is not synthesized. The MTR2000 is synthesized and has a couple of gotchas as far as buying a used or surplus unit. It is covered here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/motorola/mtr2k/mtr-index.html Mike WA6ILQ
