Licensing issues (Technician vs General)The Technician class license is the entry-level license of choice for most newham radio operators. To earn the Technician license requires passing oneexamination totaling 35 questions on radio theory, regulations and operatingpractices. The license gives access to all Amateur Radio frequencies above 30megahertz, allowing these licensees the ability to communicate locally andmost often within North America. It also allows for some limited privileges onthe HF (also called "short wave") bands used for internationalcommunications.The General class license grants some operating privileges on all AmateurRadio bands and all operating modes. This license opens the door to worldwide communications. Earning the General class license requires passing a35 question examination. General class licensees must also have passed theTechnician written examination. (ARRL)Next Radio After HT16 February 201511

SWR meter A SWR meter measures the mismatch along a transmission linebetween a transmitter and an antenna. It is important to know the SWR value to make sure that themajority of the transmitter power is actually reaching the antennaand not being wasted by reflecting back to the station. SWR meters can be stand-alone or incorporated in a tuner ortransmitter itself.Diamond SX-600 HF AND DUAL-BAND VHF/UHF SWRWATTMETER 200W --- 180Next Radio After HT16 February 201522
