Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Irving,
YOU CAN DO IT, MAN!!! I used ehams.com to study for the general test, and the ARRL book to study for the Technician. 2 weeks; make it happen soldier! Do you want me, streetglieok, ginhcraes, rbeau30, driver, hatidua, and cmailliard stoppng by your house? :-)
Besides, asmo needs company!
"Guilty of collusion"
Haha, I have no concerns about passing the test at all. 35 multiple choice with the answers posted on-line? No problem.

-programming the repeaters into the radio is far more challenging than passing the tech exam.Originally Posted by Irving
That's the honest truth. Lot of guys who are hams have troubles with this. Some radios are not user friendly and rely on the operator to know frequency offsets, tones, etc. My two Yaesus were pretty good about that, once you learned how to use the things. My kenwood, though easier to work, and navigate, required more knowledge about the offsets, etc.
Irving are you trying to grasp and understand the material, or just learn to pass the test? For the tech license I'm not judging you one way or the other, but if you're struggling, or feel intimidated at all, by all means let us know. Sometimes its easier to have someone explain something to you, than it is to read it. Take the practice tests on eham.net, and see how you fair. If you're missing a lot in one area, then lets work on that. The same goes for anyone else as well.

Yes it is. I tried it when I upgraded to general in 2012. Whole lot of theory in that test, and 50 questions to boot.

We've also been dabbling with digital transmissions, and it hasn't been too hard for me to get setup. Some radios are a lot more involved than others however. It would let one person to transmit a digital message to another, or group of people, such as spreadsheets, text type messages etc. One type is pretty slow, but works good even when the signal is too weak to hear a person's voice.

I'm not struggling with anything so far, because I haven't done a practice test. I'm trying to get a decent understanding of everything as a concept first. Again, I'm not worried about the test at all.
"There are no finger prints under water."
That's fine, and not a bad idea. Give the practice test a try and see where you stand. It's mostly about regulations, some about operations, and a little on theory.

If you are struggling with a particular section, don't sweat, the questions pretty much are 1 from each subsection.
I'm in. Just needed a reason/reminder to get it done.
