- About RadioTelephone Tutor
-
-
-
- Computers have a repution for speeding things up. This includes studing for
- General Radiotelephone Operator License tests. This program is very helpful in
- memorizing items needed for the test. Often times,test questions are worded in
- ways that fool you. By using this program you will not be thrown by them.
- Books on the question pools are recommended.
- (Radio Shack provides a good book on General Radiotelephone Operator License).

- How to use RadioTelephone Tutor

- have taken. Then You choose missed questions for the computer to drill you
- in questions you have missed.

- real test. If you flunk the test you can then go thru every question you have
