Here, they're perpetual. SSA membership is another thing, but it's not required. Once you've got the license, it's yours until SK. In recent times, there's been some changes; if you want to run 400 or more W output, you need to apply for a time-limited license.

You have to check in with Ofcom every 5 years here. Mine expires in 2026. If you don’t check in you just have to fill in a lot of paperwork to get it back I understand.

As I recall my 11 meter license was permanent. I still remember my call sign even though no one ever used them. KBHY5427. :D

Yes every ten years.
Gee, that must really stretch some of those Hobo's abilities. :P :-DD

You have to get an FCC account and log in, figure out how to do what you need to do using the system of a massive bureaucracy ...

Edit: decided to write a book this afternoon while cleaning.

At least my expense on this Advantest R6144 unit is still in the tens of dollars, so it is faaar below the current market value so I'm still ahead (not counting time, but who counts that? :D )
But bd139, you can't drop a juicy hint like that and not elaborate!, what is this book you speak of?!
(currently 6 smirnoffs, 1 shochu, and 2 beers in to the long road of inebriation.. fun! )

Please!..... Rip the firmware out for me!
I'm trying to collect as many versions of the firmware for the TDS units as possible (and upload them to the tekwiki). :)
