new license or a renewal ??

Renewals ... well they take TIME, but they are coming through SLOWLY ....

NEW ..... well they might have sorted that backlog out in time for your 2014 license .....

I submitted a new license to buy a radio from Eric on the 5th July 2012 and only got an acknowledgement that they reserved my request 10th August 2012 and the wait continues

No wonder guy's do it illegally....

I spoke to Rina yesterday, She was in far an operation on her spine or something like that and is unable to sit in front of the computer for long periods of time. I did my application for renewal in March as well as paid my dues the same time and to date have not received any feedback. I also applied and paid for an additional license for my handheld a few weeks ago and also have received no confirmation. I think it will be best to rather just go and do my amature license later this year...

Amateur license won't help you as you are only allowed to operate in lower frequency range than the commercial radios

that explains it !!

Rina is normally VERY efficient !

I sent in my forms in March, but the invoice I got was incorrect. Took a month or two to correct that.

Rina emailed me the corrected invoice and I paid in MINUTES, and replied to her email. This got her attention. :)

I got my licenses a few weeks later.

PLEASE NOTE - new licenses are NOT being issued !! This is ICASA, NOT ORRA.

at the moment NOBODY knows when the new licenses will be sorted out ....

You can always submit your own application to ICASA...

Maybe when I get home I should give you a shout to switch your radio on and see if you can pick me up, just to see.

I'm still waiting for an invoice and I'm just gonna be patient that's all.

Maniac in this game "waiting" is not measured in weeks .....

once your email has been sent, keep a copy in your 4x4 and WAIT (as in 2 or 3 months, sometimes even longer)

Tr deal with and ICASA is much worse! Have you seen the radio application? Only 2 things missing is a blood and hair sample! 3 Pages of PAIN!

Not everyone has the new ORRA channel plan programmed into their radios yet.

You need to listen on Channel 7 on your radio to be able to hear another person talking on Channel 1 on their 'old ORRA' channel plan.

The older ORRA radios are programmed for just 4 channels, yours is programmed for 9 channels.

Three pages?? Try seven pages!

You also need a brief letter of motivation and a certified copy of your ID.

Hi Guys

Someone is still alive at ORRA - I have received my license yesterday.

I applied for my License in March 2012, received an invoice sometime in July and the license yesterday.

7 Months - Okay, suppose it's not that bad. Maybe I should start the renewal process tomorrow.

Anyways - I am now legally licensed.

Strange though - Am I not suppose to receive an ORRA sticker with the license? All I received was a A4 Paper with a cutout in for the licence, which is about the same size as a normal drivers license.

Which Friday??? 2013??? It is actually not a joke anymore... cant one complai somewhere??? By the time I receive my renewed license for 2012 it will be time to renew my 2015 license. :evil: Surely this is not acceptable... I mean we pay for a service we don't receive. It is also not fair on poor old Rina if she is the only 1 dealing with the 1000s of applications/renewals by herself. :evil:

They said the original was posted. Will wait and see. :wth:

Nou wag jy eers weer.

Na ek my invoice gekry het en betaal het was dit nog so 3 maande toe kry ek my lisensie in die pos.

Dit lyk wel of hulle die backlog geclear het, want die invoices kom nou al vinniger deur - Ek het 4 maande vir my invoice gewag.

Maar nou staak die SA Post Office weer, so selfs al kry hulle jou lisensie vinnig gepos, gaan die poskantoor nou op hom sit.
