There are three different licenses an amateur radio operator can earn. These include
Technician, General, and
Amateur Extra. What do you get for each license? Primarily frequency allocations. Check
below to learn more...
- Technician: this is the most basic license, giving you access to primary VHF and UHF bands with some HF band allocations
- General: this license will get you a major gain in band allocations and is what you will want if you to work in the HF bands
- Amateur Extra: as the highest amateur radio license you can earn, the extra license gives you access to all bands allocated to amateur radio
Still confused? Head over to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) page to find out more about what goes into getting your amateur radio
license.
