Looks to be a pretty easy test. I'll have to add it to my list of "to done's".

it's not bad if you study and/or have years of experience in comms. some things are hard, some are easy, but overall the test ain't bad. i aced element 1 and got 98 on element 2, took about 20 mins to do both and another 10 to double check myself.

I think we can call it horn successfully tooted?:roll:

davidgcet, Did you go off of experience or study, and if study what method did you use? For what it costs to sit for the test I darn well better be passing when I do take it.

both actually, i ordered Gordon West's GROL +RADAR study guide and it laid it out pretty good. i wish he would have explained more on some of the stuff, and less on other parts, but over all i attribute a good bit of my passing to his guide. the GROL has a lot of ship/aircraft stuff that i really did not need, but then again the purpose of the license is more for that area of work. i got mine because it was time to upgrade from CETa to CETj and because i needed it to work on some customers' equipment that require a licensed tech for repairs.

CG-111 is 162.455 MHz
CG-112 is 163.050 MHz

These frequencies are usually encrypted, but not always.

You might want to take a look in the RR WIKI as there are plenty more of those VHF Nets along with some UHF You most likely want to ADD

Also Encryption varies by Unit / Sector / Station - it's hit or miss

All use the NAC of $293
