Radio Shack HTX-202 User Manual

When you are ready to take the test, you do not have to go to an imposing Federa!
Office building ina big city to take the test, because these days the FCC has author-
rized ham volunteers to give all the exams. The examiners for a Novice license
test can be any two ham operators with general or higher class licenses that are
at least 18 years old and are not related to you. And, the Novice exam is free.
if you pass the Novice exam, you can immediately take the Technician exam. You
must pay a small fee to take the Technician exam, and the test must be ad-
ministered by a three-member Volunteer Examiner Team. You can get a sched-
ule of exam opportunities in your area from the ARAL.
The Technician Class license lets you use the entire range of your HTX-202 to
communicate directly with other operators, communicate through repeaters, or con-
nect to a terminal-node controller and use packet to directly send and receive in-
formation with a computer.
We have mentioned the ARRL several times. That is because the League is the
national organization that represents amateur radio in the United States. The
League has more than 150,000 members; most of them are ham operators, but
many are ham operators-to-be. Here is the address of ARRL headquarters.
The American Radio Relay League
225 Main Street
Newington, CT 06111
The ARRL staff helped us prepare this section of the owner’s manual, and they:
would be glad to hear from you if you need more information, or if you would like
to join!
Amateur radio is a great hobby that has enriched the lives of millions of people
all over the world. We take pride in bringing to you the HTX-202 to enrich your life.
