What's up arrma folks? Just curious, anyone into ham radio?
For a living, I install fire alarms andDAS systems. ERRCS (Emergency Responder Radio Communication System) in particular but not limited to. My shop required me to get my GROL(General Radio Operators License) so that I can work on these types of radio systems. I've successfully installed/commissioned a few systems already. Part of the job is to take readings inside buildings. Normally, the city's FD or PD has loaner radios. Well, one city (unnamed) didn't have a loaner for their VHF band, so my work purchased a pair for me to use. AWESOME! I LOVE NEW TOOLS!
However, I just realized that I don't know how to use and program a transceiver! How ironic that I fix/install these systems but don't know how to operate the end user equipment! Shame on me!
Anyways, any of you guys into Ham radio? I'm interested in learning and getting licensed to help further my knowledge and skills in the radio world. Any help or info is appreciated! Thanks!
