I am taking the Tech+ test soon and have some equipment-related
questions.

I know alot about electronics but nothing about amateur radio, nor do
I know anyone who does, so I hope this is the best newsgroup for info,
if not, let me know which group to ask my questions in!

I plan to start off with low-power CW and need to know what equipment
I'll need to get started. I searched the archives, but did not get
much solid info.

I plan on getting a basic "learning transceiver" off eBay to begin
with, then after I know what options I need and learn more, I'll get a
new one.

What features will I need to be able to start to do low-power CW, and
is there a preferred brand or model to look for?

Thanks,

There is NO Tech Plus test. Only Tech, General and Extra.

However, there is a Tech with HF privileges even though the license only
says Technician.

Yes, prior to restructuring.

And after restructuring. Since I am teaching a class, I have read the
current FCC rules and the current ARRL "Now You're Talking." Technicians
who pass a 5wpm code test get the old Tech+/Novice HF privileges.

This arguement is pointless. You can't talk to a brick wall. I'm done
here.
