    They (the FCC) are adding more questions to the pool in about a month, is that what you mean? Not sure if they are dropping some of the outdated questions or if the pool is just growing

    Patriot VE testing allows multiple tests, up to 3 additional if you only miss by 4 or 5 questions.

    Well this was a year ago? So maybe they change things up a bit every year.

    Edit: just checked my license. I guess it was 2 years ago almost. Grant date: 5/4/16

    Yeah what he ^ said. The tests are changing in June 2018. Patriot VE already has the new questions on their FB page. Prior to June the 2014 study guides will still work. Hurry up and take the test.

    Cool thing about this testing group was we pre-registered online, got FRN numbers from the FCC, and we should have call signs by the end of the day tomorrow. ;)

    Congrats to all the new license guys!

    I am still planning on getting my CB installed (And hopefully a hard install HAM), I would miss all the Full sized Trucked Texans down in the San Juans bitching about us narrow Toyota not moving over enough for their wide stock azzes.

    He told me at one point it was a Kenwood D710. That is the radio I ended up buying so if your question is generic enough I may be able to answer for you too.

    Ease of saying it. Something you can remember and that others can easily remember, or that has significance somehow is my reasoning for getting them.
