Technician Class are permitted to operate on 6 meter (50-54 mhz), 2 meter (144 - 148), 1.25 meter (222 - 225 mhz), 70 cm (420 -450 mhz), 33 cm (902-928 mhz), 23 cm (1240 - 1300), and 13 cm band (2300 - 2310 mhz, 2390 - 2450 mhz). Technicians are also permitted to communicate a some HF bands as well. 80 meter ( 3.525 - 3.600 mhz), 40 meters (7.025 - 7.125 mhz), 15 meter ( 21.025 - 21.200), and 10 meter ( 28.000 - 28.500 ).   Chris French KD2CLQ

I am new to ham radio. You are the first one to explain very clearly the basics of communication, radio band, and license class. Thanks

NVIS antennas on 80 meter and 40 meter are good for local and regional. You need a General license for them. If you have a Technician license, you can use these other bands IN AN EMERGENCY IF NO OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION ARE AVAILABLE. If cell towers or repeaters or the internet (with Zello) are up you must use those before the other HF bands. Technicians can use 10 meters, and the CB frequencies also fall in the range of typical HF transceivers. At the 10 meter and CB frequencies you can get extra punch with SSB.

I am trying to be a beginner, so I'm blind about all this radio-communications, but thanks for all the information, I feel that I'm starting to learn something. thanks​ a lot

Kenwood ts-2000 base and TM-d710 mobile have sky command. Also I believe they have a handheld with sky command. If someone wanted a complete package this would be the way to go.

T = Technician are allowed on other bands besides 2 Meter and 70 cm. They are also allowed to use:

A good presentation with one major shortcoming - no mention of handheld battery operated and mobile (vehicle mounted radios) which are generally much less expensive than the radios you showed.

Wow, you’re gifted in presenting information succinctly and in a format that is easy to understand. I just got my Technician license a few weeks ago and this was helpful!

It depends on the radio. International communications takes place on frequencies between 2 and 30 mHz. This frequency band is known as the High Frequency or HF band.

If I were you I would look into obtaining your ham license. It teaches you a lot about radio and communications. Imagine every fool jamming the frequencies because of either not knowing proper etiquette or just being an asshat. I passed my technician test on march 3rd and tonight just passed my general. it's well worth it.
