A MESSAGE TO HAM RADIO BEGINNERS:

If you have just earned your Novice or Technician license, or are studying for

either of them right now, we'd like to say a special Thank You for choosing

this Ramsey VHF/UHF transceiver as part of your ham radio beginnings. We

have tried to make this instruction manual as clear as possible. However,

there are some VHF radio "basics" covered by the FCC question pools for all

ham license study guides that we must presume that you have studied and

understood.

Here is a simple guide to selected Technician Class questions to help with

any review you wish to make before building:

FCC Subelement 3AA (Selected Rules): 4.2 11-1.1 12.5 15.2

FCC Subelement 3AB (Operating Procedures): 2-1.1 2-1.2 2-1.3 2-1.4

2-1.5 2-2.1 2-2.2 2-3.1 3.2 6-3.1

FCC Subelement 3AC (Propagation): It's up to you to understand the

characteristic differences among HF

(shortwave), VHF and UHF

communications.

FCC Subelement 3AD (Amateur Radio Practice): All of this is fundamental

know-how for hams. In working on this

project, be especially familiar with: 1-1.1 1-

1.2 1-1.3 7.1 9.1 through 9.5 (dummy

loads)

FCC Subelement 3AE (Electrical Principles) 3AF (Circuit Components)

Please know ALL of this.

FCC Subelement 3AG (Practical Circuits): 4.21

FCC Subelement 3AH (Signals and Emissions): 1.1 2-1.1 2-4.1 2-6.2

2-7.1 4.1 6-1.2 7-1.1 7-2.1 7-2.2

FCC Subelement 3AI (Antennas and Transmission Lines): You will want

to know all of this, if you don't want to take

all your savings from building your own

transceiver and spend it on a commercially-

built antenna. Very good VHF antennas are

easy and inexpensive to build yourself!
