Kenwood ham radio install - Pic heavy

[KaiserM715]

To get a ham license, what's to expect on the test? Can I go HAM now and get the license later?

Get one of the study guides. I read through it one time the week before and passed with no issues. The test costs $15, cash only and in most areas is the first Saturday of the month. You can get a radio now, but cannot legally transmit on it without a license.

None of the HAM / Amateur radios will transmit on commercial / race frequencies without export mods. So yes, it will have to be modded.

Hey Swamp just keep taking the practice exams over and over till you start getting 85% or better every time.... If you do it for about two weeks strait you can pass it no problem. I used Practice Amateur Radio Exams by QRZ.COM Very user friendly

Questions for the OP about the radio and antenna install:

1) You link to a general page for the antenna mount and antenna, and list models that don't exactly match the products. So is the antenna/mount an NMO or PL-259?
2) What is the antenna connector on the radio? PL-259?
3) Did you have to buy the antenna cable separately or did it come with the antenna or mount?
