OK now it's time to download and install DroidStar!

This is a fairly good explanation of how it works!
And there you have it, you can now talk to fellow Ham radio operators pretty much anywhere in the world using nothing more than your Android or ios device!

I think I will just get the ol' 2 metre rig fixed. Thanks Simmo. Mackka VK1KJM/ portable VK4
Just noticed that license fees are now $55. I think it was $20 when i got started some 40 years ago. However, the pleasure it gives people is a cheap option.

Keen to hear about the Raspberry Pi options Simmo. I've got a few here, one for retro gaming, and another 2 for ADS-B and airband reception/broadcast. But I've got a spare RPi 4 just waiting for a reason to be turned on

This is good information and thank you so much for doing this. I'm learning some new stuff, such as Talk Group. Looks as if I'll need to make a login there to listen but I may be doing that soon. Excellent job giving us this information @Simmo

Okay.

that was a bit to take in during my spare 20 min or so, I'll be back to observe.

The Standard exam is ok but the advanced is a "bit" more difficult--good luck.

Foundation 'exam' even easier, so don't be afraid to read up the page a bit and do a trial test.

I've got a bit on atm folks, but will elaborate on DRM hand helds, Code Plugs, Hot spots and Raspberry Pi in a little while!
