PREFACE

The AMECO COMMERCIAL RADIO OPERATOR’S LICENSE GUIDE – ELEMENT 3 is part of a series of guides published by the Ameco Publishing Corp., for the purpose of preparing students for the Federal Communication Commission’s commercial radio operator’s examinations.

As is the case with the other AMECO guides, this guide includes a sample F.C.C – type examination. This sample examination provides an added means of preparation for the actual F.C.C. examination, and may serve as an actual gauge of preparedness. The correct answers to the questions are in the back of the book. The questions duplicate the format of the F.C.C exam; most of them are of the multiple-choice type, and cover the entire range of the material that is covered that is covered by the F.C.C. on their examination.

In addition to the other elements, the satisfactory completion of the Element 3 examination is necessary for the Radiotelephone 1st and 2nd class operator’s licenses. The following are requirements for the various classes of commercial radio operator’s licenses and permits issued by the Federal Communications Commission.

Radiotelephone 1st Class Operator’s License – Elements 1, 2, 3, 4.

Radiotelephone 2nd Class Operator’s License – Elements 1, 2, 3.

Radiotelephone 3rd Class Operator’s Permit – Elements 1, 2.

Restricted Radiotelephone Permit – No written or oral examination.

Radiotelegraph 1st Class Operator’s License – Elements 1, 2, 5, 6.

Radiotelegraph 2nd Class Operator’s License - Elements 1, 2, 5, 6.

Radiotelegraph 3rd Class Operator’s Permit – Elements 1, 2, 5.

Aircraft Radiotelegraph Endorsement on 1st or 2nd Class License – Element 7

Ship Radar Endorsement on Radiotelegraph or Radiotelephone 1st or 2nd Class License – Element 7

The F.C. C examination for Element 3 consists of 100 multiple choice questions similar to the examination on page 146. One percent (1%) credit is allowed for each question answered correctly. Seventy Five percent (75%) is the passing mark for the examination element.

Although this guide cover’s only Element 3 of the commercial radio operator’s examinations, the Ameco Publishing Corp. has published other guides covering Elements 1, 2, 4 and 9. License guides covering the requirements for the radio amateur operator examinations have also been published. See back cover for listing of all Ameco guides.

It is the contention of the author that the student who thoroughly covers the material in this guide will be prepared to pass the F.C.C. commercial radio operator’s examination.
