Tracks
Foundations feeds every exam track. The exam tracks stack: Technician privileges are a subset of General, which is a subset of Extra, and the pools overlap accordingly.
Radio & Electronics Foundations
prerequisiteThe physics, math, and circuit vocabulary every radio credential assumes. Built so that a lesson in any exam track can point here instead of re-teaching Ohm's law for the fourth time.

GMRS — General Mobile Radio Service
licence no examNo exam, but real rules. Channel plan, power and antenna limits, repeater use, identification, and the FRS/GMRS/MURS boundary that trips up most operators using the handhelds already in the drawer.

SDR & Bench Practicum
practicumHands-on labs that turn exam abstractions into things you have seen on a screen: spectrum, modulation, filters, antenna resonance, propagation. Every lab names the hardware it needs and offers a no-hardware fallback.

Not a from-scratch Part 107 course — the certificate is already held. This track covers the recurrent-training knowledge areas and the places where drone operations meet radio: airspace and ATC comms, LAANC, aircraft band monitoring, C2 link spectrum, and Remote ID.
