Hi Gary -- this group is OK but rec.radio.amateur.equipment
might get a better response.

Since you specified Tech license, I assume without code, your privileges
will be in the VHF/UHF
range. http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/classes.html

New HT's and mobiles run $135 or so, used ones for as low as $30
For reviews see eHam reviews http://www.eham.net/reviews/

For used gear see swap pages http://ac6v.com/swap.htm



Good luck on the test.

I am a newbie to the hobby, I arrived at this newsgroup from the "AM
window
web site,,, I will take my tech test in a few months, I need some advise
on
what to get for a transceiver and not spend a fortune. After 43 long
years
I have renewed my interest in the hobby and am looking forward to pursuing
it. Secondly, am I in the right place to ask this question or is there
another newsgroup that would be better for a newbie like me. Thanks for
all
your help,,, Gary

Thats one way to keep HF less crowded.
Don't flame me, but IMHO, I don't see much rational for morse code
tests being a part of the HAM liscencing scheme. Aside from the above
statement.

If you wish to debate the test requirements, go to rec.radio.amateur.policy,
which is intended to discuss issues of this nature.

Mike,

It won't be that way for long. ITU has made the requirement optional as
of last year.
