I would like to get into ham radio. I have to program the radios that the field staff uses for the company I work for so I have a little knowledge on it.

You need to be licensed. I have a friend with a license and a nice set up. Pretty cool.

Anyone interested needs to pass a Federal Commission Commission exam. Go to ARRL website and learn about licensing. And find a local amatuture radio club.

Good luck with the test. It sounds like an awesome thing to get involved in. My friend has a portable unit as well - like a walkie-talkie.
So a have a walk-a-bout which is nice. It transmits at 5 watts. My prized radio is in my truck. It’s got all the bells and whistles and will transmit at 50 watts. Ive connected to repeaters almost 100 miles away when im out in the plains.
