Maybe this will give me the kick in the ass that I need to buckle down and take the exam. do it! and if you are in the US and want a tech or general license book let me know. i'll mail it for the cost of postage. it's a test version out of date but about all that has changed is the morse code requirements. same problem for me ;) @camo: what if you ship international, would you still care for a ham license? nah, the radios at least are going to sell to a ham. Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: danieldaniel on January 19, 2013, 06:35:28 PM How much for the FT-817? If it's cheap, I might buy it.
Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: camolist on January 19, 2013, 11:02:27 PM How much for the FT-817? If it's cheap, I might buy it. Just the radio or with the tuner? Already have cash offers of $400 from multiple locals for just the radio but I'm trying to sell online as a package because the tuner alone will be harder to sell Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: novusordo on January 20, 2013, 02:05:03 PM Interested, but I'm not a licensed ham yet.

That would be awesome! I'll take you up on it. ;D Let me know the postage cost next time you're on IRC. Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: camolist on January 21, 2013, 02:26:56 AM That would be awesome! I'll take you up on it. ;D Let me know the postage cost next time you're on IRC. which ones do you want? i have two tech books and one general "now you're talking!" 4th and 5th additions (Technician level test) general class license manual 4th edition these are test books from 2000-2003 but really the only thing that has changed since then is the Morse code requirements being removed shipping would be $4.90 for flat rate priority edit: tech 5th addition has been taken other two are still available for cost of shipping to anyone who wants them Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: Garr255 on January 21, 2013, 10:32:22 AM While I'm not interested in any of your gear right now, I have to say that this thread reminded me how cool ham is, and now I'm going to get certified :) So thanks for that :P

Unfortunately mine can't accept packages, only First Class envelopes & postcards. Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: camolist on January 22, 2013, 03:53:10 AM Some of us put mail drops in our public record to avoid unwanted visits from criminals. Unfortunately mine can't accept packages, only First Class envelopes & postcards. could always send a postcard to confirm then send the package to another address :D was something i had not thought of before. it's just my personal preference to know who I'd be selling a radio to. many many places will sell without a second thought. Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: kuzetsa on January 23, 2013, 12:30:12 AM so? licenses (names / addresses) are public record and i do not see why anyone without the license would need a transmitter Some of us put mail drops in our public record to avoid unwanted visits from criminals. Unfortunately mine can't accept packages, only First Class envelopes & postcards. Indeed... I tend to prefer using a mail drop because stolen packages / deliveries has happened more than once in the past 2 years at my address. That would be awesome! I'll take you up on it. ;D Let me know the postage cost next time you're on IRC. which ones do you want? i have two tech books and one general "now you're talking!" 4th, and 5th additions (Technician level test) general class license manual 4th edition these are test books from 2000-2003 but really the only thing that has changed since then is the Morse code requirements being removed for one book the absolute most for shipping would be $4.90 for flat rate priority i need to wait till i have a way of weighing them but if they are under 13 ounces i can send first class for $3.28 if 13 ounces (minus about 15 cents for every ounce under 13) edit: tech 5th addition has been taken other two are still available for cost of shipping to anyone who wants them Basically, I thought about trying to find a local "ham in a day" class but I don't own a vehicle & there haven't been any within walking distance. ... I'd really like to get some study materials though, so if someone with radio experience and/or some books or other study materials could drop me a privmsg on freenode IRC, that'd be great my IRC nick is kuzetsa there, same as on forums. (most bitcoin stuff seems to be on freenode, and I've been hanging out in ##hamradio too lately) Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: Bitware on February 03, 2013, 02:15:07 PM LoL @ the elitist "I will only sell to a ham" for these old used products that anyone can buy without a ham license.

I'm not going to support a non licensed person getting a radio go buy from eBay or one of the dealers like hamradio.com they'll take your money and not think twice already given a book away at the cost of shipping it to help someone get the ham license. guess that's elitist too right?

Incorrect... you only need a license to TRANSMIT, and only on certain frequencies, but if its an emergency and no other means of communication is present, then anyone may transmit. It's always been that way. Of course you can sell to whom you want. Enjoy!

I am interested in the book I want to get my license, is it still available Camolist? D have one of the tech books and a general book left dug out the remaining tech book and realized the test questions section is torn out :/ questions are available online http://www.qrz.com/hamtest/ is one example or google to find others rest of the book is intact. whoever had it before me must have torn that part out though Incorrect... you only need a license to TRANSMIT, and only on certain frequencies, but if its an emergency and no other means of communication is present, then anyone may transmit.

Enjoy! yeah. but it's just personal preference. just conscious not wanting the radio to go where it could potentially cause problems Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: Dalkore on February 10, 2013, 03:13:32 AM sorry for taking so long to get back. missed the responses in this thread I am interested in the book I want to get my license, is it still available Camolist?

I'm taking my Technician exam on the 15th and I managed to pass the online tests with just what I already knew so it's pretty straightforward :D Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: RodeoX on March 19, 2013, 08:00:50 PM While I'm not interested in any of your gear right now, I have to say that this thread reminded me how cool ham is, and now I'm going to get certified :) So thanks for that :P Me 2 Garr. I may have to go for a no-code licenses this summer. Title: Re: Amateur radio gear Post by: Richy_T on March 19, 2013, 08:30:06 PM Pop on and run through a test exam here. You might be closer to it than you think.
http://www.eham.net/exams/ And this is a study guide based on the questions. It's lacking a lot of background but isn't a bad starting point IMO. http://www.kb6nu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/2010_Tech_Study_Guide.pdf |
