Technician License Practice Test

The legal foundation: what the FCC lets you do on which frequencies, how call signs work, and the rules around identifying your station and interference.

Study T1 →

Day-to-day operating: how to make a contact, repeater etiquette, emergency traffic, and the phonetic alphabet you will actually use on the air.

Study T2 →

Why a signal that leaves your antenna sometimes travels ten miles and sometimes ten thousand: the ionosphere, band conditions, and basic propagation.

Study T3 →

Setting up and running a station safely and correctly: connecting equipment, choosing power levels, and avoiding common beginner mistakes.

Study T4 →

The physics underneath everything else: Ohm's law, current, voltage, resistance, and reading the electrical units every other subelement assumes you know.

Study T5 →

Identifying components on sight and knowing what they do: resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, and the schematic symbols that represent them.

Study T6 →

How the pieces combine into working circuits: receivers, transmitters, power supplies, and the basic building blocks of the radio in front of you.

Study T7 →

What actually rides on a radio wave: modulation types, digital modes, satellite operation, and the difference between an FM repeater and a CW signal.

Study T8 →

Getting your signal into the air and back out again: antenna types, feed lines, SWR, and why a mismatched antenna wastes your transmitter power.

Study T9 →

The subelement most likely to matter outside the exam room: RF exposure limits, electrical safety, and antenna and tower work without hurting yourself.
