There's a problem loading this menu right now. There were about a dozen taking the exam. I finished first and it took me only 7 or 8 minutes. The examiners were surprised but elated that I did so well in so short a time. But that's what your program will do for anyone who stays focused. They have invited me to join the local club which I will be glad to do. I am so happy with myself.

I wholeheartedly endorse your program. I'll let you know when I complete the "General". Your program got me here with ease. You have a wonderful program and I would tell anyone that this would be the way to go. I have such confidence that even the next day I am studying for the "General" class. The option of printing out only the correct answers is an awesome idea. Thank you making this software so affordable. I took my test for the General Class license Sunday. With the help of 5by5, the ARRL answer sheet and two months of study I was able to ace the test in 15 minutes.

I answered all but one correctly. Thanks for the great software. I intend to use it for the Extra Class license, also. I used it to pass the Technician - General - and yesterday the Extra. Without the help of this software I would not have had a chance obtaining any of these pass results.. A big thank you and may you continue to successfully create such clever so easy to use - wonderful software. I have used this program for a short time and took the test and passed with ease, i would recommend this to any prospective ham out there who is trying to obtain any license class 73's to all and just to say this is a stellar software program thanks again and look forward to studying for my extra class.

I have successfully passed all the way up to extra class as of last night. I could not have done it without your software! Well worth the asking price! I would just like to tell you your program is great. I bought it on November 06 the day before the test. With only one day to study before the Ham test, I studied for an hour, and on November 07, I passed my first ever ham test for technician.

I will continue to study for my general for the test next month. Once again thank you for making this great software. Just wanted to let your software was a great help in taking and passing the Amateur Extra exam this last weekend. Thanks again for a great program. Thank you guys so much, this software is outstanding, helped me to better my career. While I didn't get my numeric grades, the examiners said that I had done "very, very good" on both test.

In retrospect I think I missed one question on the Tech test and probably aced the General.

It took no longer than 20 minutes to complete both exams. I didn't encounter a single question on either exam that wasn't covered in some form on your practice test. I think the best use of your practice test was to identify areas where I needed more study. Once I had done that I could go online and research whatever information or concepts I lacked and use the information thus acquired to further my knowledge.

I used your software and mp3s to study up for the grand trifecta. I spent a little over a month studying. Out of questions I got right which is a Having a GROL is an easy and useful add-on for any aviation mechanic. With a bit of study, in our experience and in the experience of many of our users, you could be ready for the GROL in under a day's sitting with Five by Five. Does Five by Five include all of the charts and figures I will need? Everything's included in the download.

The advantage of the audio preps is, for example, that you can burn the audio prep to a CD for listening to in the car or copy them to your iPod for listening elsewhere. To learn more about Five by Five audio, click here. In the PC version, you can print out the charts and figures. You can print out the questions.

You can print out result sheets to show your friends. You can even print out lists of questions in a "book" form to study from when you're away from the computer. The iOS and Android versions allow you to read PDFs of the figures which you might be able to print out, though printing from those platforms is a bit nonstandard. Why is it so expensive? Compared to free web sites that offer a sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow HTML interface, perhaps.

But Five by Five is very reasonably priced compared to all other books and software that we've seen. This software took hundreds of hours to write - your payment of our modest fees helps pay for things like programming tools and bandwidth, but you get in exchange a tool that is ideal for fast and efficient study - much more so than some website that only seems cheap until you start using it.. Our software and mobile apps are serious things - not amateur efforts. What you're getting there is an exceptionally polished user experience optimized to help you study and learn FAST. It pays for itself in saved time and frustrtation in no time.

Why is it so cheap? If we were out to make serious money, we'd be in a different line of business. We do this because we enjoy it. Hey, don't ask questions like this - just enjoy. I worry about paying online by credit card. No problem - simply start the order process online. That said, please recognize that in over a decade of business we have had zero credit-card purchase related irregularities over our secure server, and this really should be the best way for most people to purchase the software. Where are the explanations? Five by Five is not intended to have direct explanations for each questions.

Rather, it simply presents the questions in a convenient, highly customizable manner that has been designed to implant the correct answers in your brain. After using this program for a while, the correct answers will start to leap out at you so that in a great many cases you won't even have to read the questions.

Actually, at one point, we considered making a version with explanations. This would be a LOT of work as you might imagine - there are several thousand questions. To our great surprise, when we polled our existing users, the overwhelming consensus was that while explanations might be nice, not having them was just fine as those who wanted to really learn the stuff had supplementary material anyway, and for those who just wanted to learn the tests, what we offer is more than sufficient. That said, 5x5 also features an integrated "JargonBuster" dictionary. What this is a massive collection of over ham radio and commercial radio terms and definitions.

When you encounter difficult terms in the app, it presents you the opportunity to see the definition without losing your place. In practice, the definitons provided amount to detailed explanations for a significant percentage of the quesions. The definitions feature is very neat. While it is quite new at the time of this writing, we're getting a ton of positive feedback from our users on this. Suffice it to say, none of our competitors have anything even remotely like this. Can I install the PC software on two machines?

Some 1, digital, analog, pulse, and spread-spectrum emission types may be transmitted. Millions of amateur operators in all areas of the world communicate with each other directly or through ad hoc relay systems and amateur-satellites. They exchange messages by voice, telephoning, telegraphy, facsimile, and television.

Reciprocal operation in the U. All frequencies are shared. No frequency is assigned for the exclusive use of any amateur station. Station control operators cooperate in selecting transmitting channels to make the most effective use of the frequencies. They design, construct, modify, and repair their stations. The FCC equipment authorization program does not generally apply to amateur station transmitters. The FCC issues six license classes, each authorizing varying levels of privileges.

The class for which each licensee is qualified is determined by the degree of skill and knowledge in operating a station that the licensee demonstrates during an examination to volunteer examiners VEs in his or her community. Operator class license classes are: The current classes are: Technician, General, and Extra also known as "Amateur Extra". Additionally there are a few grandfathered still valid, but not offered to new licensees classes.

Operation of an amateur station requires an amateur operator license grant from the FCC. Before receiving a license grant, you must pass an examination administered by a team of volunteer examiners VEs. The VEs determine the license operator class for which you are qualified through the testing of your skills and abilities in operating an amateur station. You can contact a VE team in your community to make arrangements for being administered the examination elements you desire.

After you successfully complete the exam, the VEC collects your Form document from your VE team and, after carefully screening it, forwards the information thereon to the FCC for processing, usually electronically. Your operating authority begins when your license grant information appears on the amateur service licensee database of the Universal Licensing System.

Countries including the US have been reviewing and revising their regulations and are now free to remove all Morse Code requirements. That was most of what modern Hams wanted All three license classes, Technician, General and Extra, can be attained by written exams alone and have their HF privileges. The frequencies available to each class of license have not changed. VECs coordinate the efforts of Volunteer Examiners VEs in preparing and administering amateur service operator license examinations.
