learning ham radio?

I am reading arrl's technician level license manual.. wow... There sure seems like a lot to do and remember.. Is it really all that difficult?? or is it like a lot of stuff you learned in school..(stuff you have to learn but never use??) I have been hoping that the more I read the more it will make sense.. and in a way it does, but in a way it just seems like so much I have to remember and it all starts running together and gets muddled.. Any words of encouragement, or wisdom out there?? Thanx in advance..

Programming a Ham radio for using repeaters?

John E said:

I am a new ham, just got my license. I have a new hand held radio (VX-150 Vertex). I am confused on how to program it for repeater use.
What do I need to do about offsets and tones etc? I want to have all the local repeaters ready to go in memory. Thanks
