Choos- ing just one from the variety of radio models is a challenge! The • Manufacturer’s Directory good news is that most commercially manufactured Amateur Radio equipment performs the basics very well, so you shouldn’t be overly concerned about a “wrong” choice of brands or models. This guide is intended to help you make sense of common features and decide which are most important to you. We provide explanations and defini- tions, along with what a particular feature might mean to you on the air. This publication is aimed at the new Technician licensee ready to acquire a first radio, a licensee recently upgraded to General Class and wanting to explore HF, or someone getting back into ham radio after a period of inactivity. A technical background is not needed to understand the material. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION After this introduction and a “Quick Start” guide, there are two main sections; one cov- ering gear for the VHF and UHF bands and one for HF band equipment. You’ll encounter a number of terms and abbreviations--watch for italicized words—so two glossaries are provided; one for the VHF/UHF section and one for the HF section. You’ll be comfortable with these terms by the time you’ve finished reading! We assume that you’ll be buying commercial equipment and accessories as new gear.

  • Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual
    Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual 1- Version: January 2012 About the airband radio operator license Very high frequency (VHF) airband radios are becoming more common as a tool for aircraft pilots to identify the location and intention of other aircraft in their vicinity (for VHF use at non-towered aerodromes see Civil Aviation Advisory Publication 166-1(0) and 166-2(0)).i In some classes of airspace the use of VHF airband radios is mandatory. Using a VHF airband radio requires a license endorsement. To obtain a VHF airband radio operators license you must satisfactorily (80% pass mark) complete both written and practical exams. This manual provides you with information regarding VHF airband radio use in Australia for the satisfactory completion of the written VHF airband radio operator examination. Radio communications in Australian are controlled by the Australian Communications and Media Authority ( www.acma.gov.au ). About the airband Airband radios transmit and receive a radio frequency. Radios are set to transmit and receive on specific frequencies across a band of frequencies. The radio waves that are transmitted and received are base on wavelengths and amplitudes. A cycle is one complete wave action. The frequency, measured in Hertz, is the number of cycles passing a given point in one second. One cycle per second = 1 Hertz (Hz) 1,000 Hz = 1 kilohertz (KHz) 1,000 KHz = 1 megahertz (MHz) 1,000 MHz = 1 gigahertz (GHz) The wavelength is the length of one cycle. The height of the peak or trough from the centreline is called the amplitude ; the greater the amplitude, the stronger the signal.
