Lot depends on what you want to do and where you live.
Go to a ham radio club meeting and talk to people.
Probably turn up starter rigs dirt cheap. Some guys have so many
rigs that they'll lend you one. Don't go spend
big bux on new radios until you decide which modes/bands/inhabitants you
like. If you decide to buy used, my recommendation, always take a
trusted experienced ham with you when you go. It's really easy to buy
a radio with significant flaws that wouldn't be recognized by a newbie.
Been there, done that.
