Got the book in yesterday. Reading thru it, not just studying answers to the questions. Luckily being a cable guy for 21 years, alot of it (sine waves, electrical theory) I have a really good knowledge of already. Take the test Sept. 1 for the technician license. 

Is there a particular radio that you guys would recommend for someone just getting into this hobby? Brand, model, best place to purchase? Thanks for any info.
