Do they ship wired for 110 or 220 ?
AND where would a Tech class Amateur use them ?
Looking for Band Ranges. |

They are 110 volts and are HF amplifiers. No use to a ham with tech license only. |

Thanx Hot Wire for the reply. If I understand the band spread chart correctly A ham would have to have an Extra Class license to use it in 10 Meters. Is this Correct ? Working on my Tech license test for next saturday, If passed, General will be before the end of the year. Code will be a challenge, But not out of reach. Thanx Again ! |

Rbeswick62,
The General license will allow you to run the legal limit (1500 watts) on 10 meters. You can operate CW from 28.000 to 28.300 mhz, phone (voice) from 28.300 up to 29.700. You might be seeing a reference to a 200 watt limitation for Novice and Technician Plus classes. These two license classes are no longer issued by the FCC, although there are some amateurs out there with those licenses.
The current entry level license is the Technician class and you get that by passing Element 2 (the tech test). You would receive a General Class license upon passing the Element 1 (5 wpm morse code test) and Element 3 (written General theory test). |

2ir473 Thats what I was looking for and then some. Big help For my learning. Are there any programs for learning code ( an easy way ), or is it all memorization. Don't really have time for classes(with 3 growing boys)But looking possibly for a software program to aid in learning, Seeing I stay home at nights with the boys while mom works. |

Here is how I learned code and it was fairly painless, and only took about 15 minutes an evening.
I got a code program like Code Quick and learned the letters, then the numbers, then the prosigns and punctuation. After learning each letter, number, etc. I would go throught them in my head a couple times a day to remember them.
When I got to where I as remembering all the characters, I went to http://www.aa9pw.com/radio/morse.html and downloaded the code practice exams, so I could learn to recognize code in the context of a QSO, which is how the test will be.
I got it in about 2 months of steady practice, about 15-20 minutes a night. |
