Done deal. Passed the technician exam earlier this afternoon. I only got 16 right on the General which is okay I guess because I didn't look at that material at all. Next Friday I should have my HT ordered. With the new baby and all it looks like it's going to be a Boafeng of some sort. Christmas time frame I might be able to setup a base station of some sort.
Well I got my Baofeng UV-5R in the mail yesterday and got some local repeaters setup. As far as I know anyway. I can get the repeater response after keying the mic for two seconds. So that is good I guess. Just looked on the ol FCC website and my call sign has been posted. I've got my reference license printed off so I can hae that with me while traveling about with my HT and all that. Next week I want to get a better antenna ordered for the Baofeng and I have been looking more into the kits you mentioned above.
